Question about systemd-boot vs GRUB2.
One of the current stumbling blocks is the lack of LUKS2 support in
GRUB2. Does sytemd-boot support LUKS2?
No it does not. Why would you encrypt your kernel/initrd?
On UEFI you have to have an unencrypted partition anyway, because
that's what the UEFI firmware boots from. Even if you boot with Grub:
the first step is always a VFAT file system (the ESP), without
encryption or anything.
sd-boot simply decides that the VFAT support in the firmware is OK to
load kernels/initrds from too, to make things simple, i.e. reuse the
existing storage stack you cannot avoid anyway.
