There are tools like cryptsetup which is pretty much the standard used by most Linux distributions when they offer full disk encryption during the installation.
However, it's not as intuitive to use since it's command line-based. If you're already familiar with Veracrypt, I'd suggest sticking to it. In addition to being easier to use, it has the advantage of being cross-platform so you can decrypt this drive from another computer if you ever need to.
Other option is Cryptomator, but this is for file level encryption only. What I like about it is that it's very easy to use:
I might need to update this for Zorin OS 17, and the upcoming 18 version as well, but it should work roughly the same.
