How can I do full disk encryption post installation on Fedora?

Do you need encryption on the OS for some reason? General you'd just encrypt /home. That assumes the system is secured properly in the first place.

I don't know how to enable full day of encryption after installation of the top of my head. Reinstalling is really easy tho, just backup and restore /home. All you're settings should persist with just that, and reinstalling you're programs is easy and quick as well.

hmmm... So no real reason to encrypt the OS? If my laptop is lost, and a someone resets password, will they be able to access my home directory?

No, that's the point of encryption.

So just encrypting the home directory will accomplish what I need?

Yes.
