How to make a swapfile? I have 6gb of physical ram but i feel like 2 more gigs will be enough. Both my slots are taken so i cant add more to my laptop. BTW, it is my 3rd day on EndeavourOS and Arch as a whole.

OK. I think i found the answer on this page.
You have to run this command to enable paging.
swapon /dev/sdxy*
*partition number
Then run this command to list physical and swapfile ram
free -h
