Hello, I broke my laptop about a week ago and could use a hand figuring out the best approach for recovering the files when my new laptop arrives

The laptop was running fedora and would have used whatever encryption option is default in the fedora installer (The laptop required a password before it’d fininish booting so I’m pretty confident it was encrypted), which I believe would be LUKS?

If I understand correctly the ssd is a socketed sata drive, so I figured I’d buy a sata drive enclosure when I get my new laptop that’d let me plug it in via USB

I have the password I needed to boot when the device was working, if I get a sata enclosure can I access the files?

Any input, guidance, thoughts or suggestions are appreciated :)

    Thank you, I really appreciate your input!

    I’d offer you like a cookie or a smooch on the cheek or something, but the internet has not mechanism for that, so just know you have my appreciation

    Hope you have a great day ☺️
