Okay, why does `swapoff` exist on Linux? It's completely useless as far as I can tell. It's been running for 24h to swap in like 1.5GB of used swap or so, on a largely idle server with >32GB free RAM. How can it be *this* hilariously inefficient?

TBH, I've given up on distro installers. Last time I checked, neither RHEL nor Fedora nor Ubuntu nor Debian were even able to allow something as simple as "btrfs subvolumes on top of LVM" - and I didn't even try to stack that on top of LUKS.

I just install by hand using goot old chroot these days. pacstrap for Archlinux, debootstrap for Debian/Ubuntu, and when I'm feeling an urgent desire for strong pain, there's still rpm --root and [ yum | dnf ] --installroot for those RPM-based disgraces to technology.

Manual partitioning and then remove swap. If you do this in a prod env, do some proper load and perf tests and set limits on mem usage, threads, etc. You could put it behind some loadbalancer to make sure, it does not blow up
