How much swap? - eviltoast

I’ve heard a lot of people say your swap should be 2x RAM… but do I really need 32GB of swap?

    @frustbox @sam I mostly agree, you should always aim to only use ram and not swap with your system. That beeing said you can have swap usage in any kind of system and even if you have terabytes of ram there is still a valid point for having some swap because that’s still better than a kernel panic. Also in desktop computers you can get 16-32GB RAm full while gaming and multitasking some stuff along.
