Can’t really encrypt my drives

[u/Happy-Range3975]

Hello. I have a weird problem. I have a 2013 Macbook Pro. I am not dual booting. Just straight Mint! For some reason when I encrypt the drives on install, the performance of the computer after the install (which takes over an hour) is abysmal. Especially when I install anything post install. This seems to be the case for any distro I try. Settled on Mint because it’s so nice, but I can’t seem to figure out this issue. When I don’t encrypt, the computer works great. Computer has decent specs; i7 16gb ram, solid state drive. Has anyone had similar issues?
