From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking at your use case, I think Veracrypt is the best fit. It can encrypt removable media, it can do WDE of both removable media and on-board storage, and you can pick the file system inside of the encrypted container (for compatibility's sake). And it has a GUI front-end for every OS Veracrypt will run on.
