Linus #Torvalds' justification is security: If secure boot is enabled, this must mean that the user does not wish the memory to be filled with data from the disk because it is untrusted. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
However, is it really still part of the boot process when you load the #SwapFile into memory?
Also, if you distrust the disk, why would you even load the operating system from it? By Linus' logic, #Linux should only support #SecureBoot in combination with disk encryption. 🤔

@pixelcode@social.tchncs.de I use secure boot. the first thing i do on a new machine is to disable hybernate. boot time with ssds is fast enough for me. probably i like the frest start 🙈 what do you want to „keep running“ that is hard to recreate?
