For root partition sure. But for boot? Normally when you choose an encrypted root partition you get an extra boot partition without encryption. Unless that has changed rather recently.

Depends on the distro. openSuse encrypts all, and has (or had?) slow boot as consequence. I think Tumbleweed just switched away from Grub.

The theory is that messing with boot can compromise your system and leave you vupnarable despite encryption.

I mean, something still accepts your password that's unencrypted. The solution for this is, yay I get to say it, Secureboot.
