I had a fellow linux user friend of over a decade convince me to try go no swap for a change.
I pebkac’d the system before it got a chance to fall foul of having zero swap.
… My next computer even before that pebkac, has swung the other way… >3X RAM amount of swap (And that’s on twice the RAM too. Mmm. Roomy.). Not going back to no swap. I prefer the headroom.
With fast drives snug on the mainboard, it doesn’t hurt dipping into swap.
