Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

slight disagree. While encryption is very useful, it requires a full shutdown or hibernation to do what a normal "sleep" or "lock" would do. definitely not the most convenient setup. I'd say OP should just change his username to something else.
Hibernation does not take that long with a modern ssd. Convenience and security often don't go hand in hand. Locking the laptop usually is sufficient too for switching trains etc.
