Ha-ha yes. Linux supports this with ease. You don't really notice it, you just have to type in your passphrase at boot. You can also put nukes on it aswell, so if someone tries brute forcing it the hard drive is as good as random gibberish. The other option is to just encrypt your home folder, which is the usual option.
I used to run a persistent encrypted Kali Linux on a USB 3, was pretty good for a portable secure OS.
Edit: correction
I do the whole disk thing and it's nice to know that if my laptop ever gets stolen, I really don't care that much. Go buy a new one, install my backup and never worry that my data will get pulled off the stolen machine.
I set it up via the Debian installer, if anyone's interested.
