Do you have a swapfile on your PC?

@alyx because they use up the life of the drive by writing too much?

@Jack5150
Pretty much. Also a waste of space. Linux has a good solution in zram as an alternative to traditional swap. And if the worst case scenario ever happens, I've got systemd-swap to temporarily make small 512mb swap files if 16gb of ram really gets completely filled.

@alyx @Jack5150 well I guess you can set the *swappiness* in le loonix kernel to zero and use a swapfile just for hibernation and stuff

@meeper @Jack5150
I'd be just wasting space then, as I never do hibernation either. Either sleep or full shutdown.

@alyx @Jack5150 well then that's fine, no real need for swap, unless you have very low ram
