Anybody know a guide or reading material on learning how to encrypt hard drives ?

Perhaps you had another partition with an operating system on the same disk, which prevented full disk encryption? If installing on an empty disk, most distros offer full disk encryption by default.

That definitely wasnt the case when I was last installing Mint, as I don't dual boot and always select the option to overrite the entire disk during installation. The way I remember it, it says "[checkbox] Encrypt your home partition" with no other options. Not sure if there is an equivalent to Fedora's settings or an advanced mode (like blivet-gui) to setup full disk encryption manually.

when you choose the partitions you want, there is a little checkbox asking you if you want to encrypt your hard drive
