Would be even more useful if the install also set up a swap partition.
Even more important for the 1Gb ram systems.

Sorry, sir, but that's not correct, at least on *my* Pi. 'free -m' shows exactly zero swap space, and I have not changed the defaults for swap.

What does the headless installation do differently from normal? When I did a normal installation and then tweaked it to be headless, the main changes were:
- install/configure RealVNC and/or SSH to allow remote access
- set default resolution (in Start | Preferences | Raspberry Pi Configuration, set Resolution=CEA Mode 31 1920x1080x50, Underscan=Disabled Interfaces tab: SSH and VNC=Enabled [Pi3] or in /boot/config.txt, add hdmi_force_hotplug=1 # allow Pi to boot with no monitor connected, hdmi_group=2, hdmi_mode=82 # force 1920x1080x60 even though monitor can't be auto-detected [Pi4])
The forced resolution is only necessary if you intend to access by Real VNC as opposed to by PuTTY and SSH).

It's not about the Pi but about the OS. Is it "Raspberry Pi OS" from raspberrypi.com? I have a newish Bullseye install here (on a Pi 4, with desktop, 64-bit) and it reports 100 MB swap space. Well, 99 actually, because it's 104853504 bytes which is not quite 104857600.

That it is recent is irrelevant, by the way. Ever since the beginning when it was called Raspbian, it has always had a 100 MB swap file. See, e.g.:

It's time, on every Raspberry I installed, I reduce pi to minimal. No default login, no remote access a password no sudo. for every users (well 2 or 3) I suppressed sudo. But for many things like raspi-config, install a printer etc user pi supposed. BTW I have 1 GB swap on my system. 100 mb is too small I had once impossible to compile (php) due to lak of memory.
