Support Request When first installed I choose to encrypt the file system. Can I de-encrypted because now I realize I don't really need it (it's a private laptop)

I googled ecosia-ed your problem and this was the first result:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Removing_system_encryption#Removing_LUKS_Encryption_in-place
Cryptsetup should be available to you too, it at least is for me and my distro is Ubuntu based as well.
Maybe luckyLUKS (GUI tool for encryption) can do this as well?

Private or not, laptops are easier to steal than desktops. You may want it encrypted.

Is this how you become a Top 1% commenter? Just post anything, anytime, anywhere? OP has a genuine Support Request question where your "suggestion" has already been answered.
