    I know right now you’re stuck exclusively using swap, but If you work hard and apply yourself, you may one day be able to afford one whole gigabyte of ram without going more than five figures into debt.

    Remember when they said “swap should be 2 times the amount of RAM”.

    Why would I waste 128 GiB of storage for nothing?

      Did the same thing but some apps are designed with that in mind and I had worse performance so had to do a swap file again

        Never have I ever heard about apps that need a swap file to operate normally.

          Only half-joking.

          Me neither but creating one fixed my performance issues so I figured that was the issue. TBF it was a pagefile under windows so it might be a windows specific quirk but the main point still stands

            Yeah, your first mistake was using Windows and expecting performance.
