TIL: UUIDs aren’t as persistent if the file system gets reformatted a bunch, e.g. on every boot as you’d do with an encrypted swap partition so it’s a better solution to go for the GPT partition PARTUUID instead

i like to have it more in hand and use Part Labels instead. If I want to swap drives or move partitions between drives, I just set the correct PartLabel that is referenced in fstab file and it's done.
