KDE NEON CAN NOT BE INSTALLED

the installer can not install into a newly created partition alongside Windows 11.

It takes a very long time to be not successful and then errors out, see below.

After this error the disk I want to install to is not available any more to the system I booted from the KDE neon USB Stick. 

Also from the command line that I can see in the error the installer seems to create a LUKS type 1 partition, which really should not be used in 2025. Who is sleeping so hard on security and encrypted partitions a KDE?

Overall real disgrace and very disappointing. In this times with neo fascist governments taking over it is absolutely basic requirement to provide a safe hard disk encryption and installation of such a system should ork OOB without any problems. This is not 1998 any more. Please prioritize secure installation by default, thanks.
