On my desktop system I rely on a 2GB swap space while my laptop runs smoothly without it. With 8GB of RAM available, I only need to use swap when storage requirements exceed 1.5TB or when using an SSD with an HDD.

It's primarily about maintaining safety. I don't enable swapping by default on my system, but I do when necessary, such as during compilation of complex tools like Chrome or LLVM. The purpose is to provide overflow capacity when required. If you're concerned about wasting significant storage space on unused data, avoid partitions and instead use a swap file. This allows safe expansion or reduction without risk. Previously, there was a "1xRam minimum" for hibernation; it's unclear if this still applies, so you might want to check if you plan to hibernate.

You might want to create a swap file, but I wasn’t able to find the steps (I was focusing on other tasks).

A straightforward method for this task is outlined here.

Also make sure to include the swapfile in your fstab file.

I'll check if any variable adjustments are needed in Solus later, and I believe that's the plan.
