Ubuntu 20.04 and later use a swap file (/swapfile) instead of a dedicated swap partition.
The swap file is created automatically during installation and is managed by the system.

when you install with luks you get disk encryption including having the home folder encrypted and the swapfile is also encrypted. this article is going to have people add garbage they do not need.
