& only run systemd-swap to [try to] be one of the hoopy froods, not coz i actually need it.

With 32GB RAM I use systemd-swap myself, (albeit for different reasons than yours ).

Here’s a link why it’s still a good idea to have swap enabled, even with plenty of RAM.

My question on Swap

Is it necessary to have swap file. Just heard the most recent episode on Destination Linux and they are saying it is a must. Going on our Wiki I found a post by @Bryanpwo stating that if you are using an SSD it’s not a good idea. Now I do have the capability to add an HDD to this laptop as well. Please school me on Swap and would adding the HDD be a good idea?
