I used @stefano 's excellent guide to redo my wife's Void Linux laptop. Now it's on ZFS and runs great!

The guide is here:
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/12/22/void-linux-zfs-hibernation-guide/

The only adjustment I'd make to the guide is when you're setting up the encrypted swap. Do you use the same password as the main encrypted ZFS? Or does it matter?

@pertho Great!
No, it actually doesn't matter as swap will then be unencrypted using the key stored in the ZFS dataset.
In the first draft I wrote that you can use the same password, but it doesn't matter. Maybe I can add this.
