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?

Just disable swap after standard install (if expert mode doesn't allow to unconfigure it). Keep the partition for later use or merge it with your main partition (there are tools). I don't use swap since years.

Yes, I know how to get rid of swap. That's not the point. The point is that it's 2019 and the default is still to add a useless swap partition. Defaults matter, because not everyone knows to get rid of it.
