I normally don’t like light themes (hurts my eyes), but this one is beautiful.

I’m running my installations on this machine without swap space for many years now, never needed it. 
But it’s a personal decision, no recommendation.
With lesser memory installed I would create a swap partition. I’m running other systems, that have swap space available.

I am still researching alot on the net to find a good answer why swap is needed, i have 64 GB on my main gaming notebook. I really don’t think swap is needed, yet people advice to add 4-8GB swap. I did enable zram on my older notebook with 8GB of ram, added 24GB zram to see any difference.
I really don’t see, unless you compile stuff but other then that…i don’t see it.

I have 16GB on my mini pc. I still have an 8GB swap. I figure it can’t hurt, so why not?

Well it’s writting on disk everytime which will have a impact on lifespan. That’s why i prefer on ram if swap is needed.

Thank you 
It’s a mix of two icon sets. Zafiro (for apps, panel etc) and Color flow (folders).
Here is my mix and match. (link active for a week).

@MichelN I was for ten years with 16 GB ram without swap, with various distros.
3 years ago, my first days with endos, I was looking the wiki for tips etc. and I found about zram. I start using it.
Today, I am with 32 GB ram and a little bit of zram. Sometimes the os using a few MB of it, maybe feels more “comfortable” this way, so why not?

Thanks for the info @fog. Yeah i noticed it too during a small test (heavy loading) on a 13 years old notebook. It used a few mb’s in a few hours. When i try to compile something from source it went up to around 400mb.
If i correctly understand zram it stores the swap on ram compressed.

I use swap because I read an article that dug into the kernel source code and showed that the kernel could behave strangely with its memory handling if there was no swap. I figure it’s going to do no harm and may do some good, so why not?
To keep things on topic:

Did you use zram or just swap partition / swap file ?
I’m old fashioned so swap partition. I keep thinking about using zram as well, but never get round to it.
