@tychotithonus wow holy shit they want to remove LUKS support from GRUB based on their (IMO misguided) preference of doing LUKS from an initrd. I hate that design pattern, but I guess they have their reasons. Personally my linux laptops that are FDE encrypted are *completely* encrypted and boot leveraging GRUB's LUKS support. It's unusual, but I believe more resilient to bad shit.

Ripping out all of these GRUB features would basically mandate that most Ubuntu 26.10+ installations are done with the /boot partition being done on a raw EXT4 partition.
wat?

@tychotithonus
I used to have an irrational hatred for Ubuntu. I really appreciate that they've taken steps to provide multiple solid reasons.
