is it possible to enable/install File-Based Encryption in Fedora like in Android File-Based Encryption  |  Android Open Source Project

The document you linked says it is using ext4 encryption. It looks like ext4 encryption is enabled on Fedora Linux.

$ grep CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION /usr/lib/modules/6.2.10-200.fc37.x86_64/config 
CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION=y
CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION_ALGS=y
CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION_INLINE_CRYPT=y

I’ve never used it. But it looks like it should be possible if you know how. Personally, I use zfs for encryption. Most Fedora Linux users will probably want to wait for Btrfs to support encryption.

It’s still in development. You’ll have to wait until they finish the code.
