    If you plan to use Grub 2.06 with LUKS2 note that:
    > - Argon2id (cryptsetup default) and Argon2i PBKDFs are not supported (GRUB bug #59409), only PBKDF2 is.
    > - grub-install does not support creating a core image that could be used for unlocking LUKS2.
    (wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#)

    Just had a hard long time debugging because I assumed full support which is not the case yet.

    Also `grub-mkconfig` or `grub-install` do not bother to warn you about any incompatibility. The crypto commands are just silently omitted. 😑
