So far I just don't trust distributions to implement FDE in a way that gives me the confidence that I will always have access to my own files when I hold the key to unlock them. While I have nothing that is particularly valuable to the outside world, there are a lot of personal files that I would like to just keep acces to.
I just don't have the time nor the inclination to become a Linux enryption expert, just so my unexceptional files can be stored a little more securely. I might be way off base, but it is how encryption is presented in distributions that very much feel like an afterthought. Unencrypted I just need a working filesystem driver and I can access my stuff. With encryption I just don't know.
