With swap auto-detection, I don’t even have to make an fstab entry for myself! Ahh - the glories of a REAL OS…
I don’t need swap …i have 32 GB memory. 
Edit: This is on your good Ryzen with nvme drive pci-e 4.0? What the heck?

So do I - but its existence has other advantages - as seen in a post elsewhere on here…
Well - that’s the link… I think!
If you have a shared data partition between your systems, you could put the swapfile in there and share it across different systems, that is if you are not hibernating.
Still sounds like work to me! I don’t hibernate - the logistics would drive me bananas with all the different systems here, and how often they change. Should be doable though…

I understand.
That is, anyway, how I share the swapfile between different installed systems and it works fine.
That’s very long argument and i don’t necessarily buy it. It all depends. There are other factors that make that argument kind of moot. But i’m not going to argue about it.

Today with Kernel updates swap partition vs swap file has no performance differences and realistically if you’re running 16GB of RAM then you probably don’t need either.
I guess I could take half of my RAM out, if you think it would help?
