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.

To go back to basics, why is FDE not suitable for your needs?
I am pretty sure, you can as easily have encryption only on a single logical partition of that disk, considering you first create a luks partition, unlock it and then format the mapped device with the target filesystem (and install the OS on there).
Or have an entire LVM volume group on that one encrypted partition / mapped device. And have as many logical volumes inside as you want.
You could potentially run Windows in a VM, then you can get rid of the Windows partition and have it all sit within LUKS.
