Hi. It might be general question but how to check that?
It might be related with hibernation (which I cannot turn on).
Whole system from 18 is encrypted by default, right?

It would only be encrypted if you selected to encrypt the install.

Some info on Swap. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

Here are instructions for encrypting swap. I've never been through that process. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/ecryptfs-setup-swap.1.html

Run lsblk to see what is and isn't encrypted.
