The biggest Fedora 28 reinstallation hurdle was getting the installer to "take" my original root partition. I had to check the box for overwriting it. There should have been some guidance. Instead I had to figure it out. It was an educated guess.
When I re-installed Fedora 28, I was able to keep my /home partition. It wasn't exactly a seamless process, as this is a dual boot with a now-ancient Windows 8 (not even point-1) and an encrypted Fedora.
After years of generally seamless Fedora upgrades, I had to re-install Fedora 28 after a failed upgrade left my Fedora 27 installation unbootable. It was something having to do with the keys, even though I had secure boot turned off. The old install was crufty anyway.
