Swapfile in esp? (BTRFS) (lemmy.today)

Since swapfile shouldn't be in a snapshot, and I want my system encrypted therefore I am asking if it could be possible to make efi partition big enough to include swapfile inside it?

I can't find documentation for this process, so would it require some extra steps to make it work?

Why not make a swap partition instead?

Doesn't mess with your ESP partition
Won't be snapshotted
Follows KISS principles
