And since you should probably be running a modern CoW filesystem then you probably shouldn't be using swapfiles ... is the conclusion I arrived at anyway. Either install multiple times more RAM than you need and enable zswap or else set aside a swap partition as has always been done.
Truth be told—- I don’t use swap and set `vm.swappiness=0` but in these difficult times, swap may be the hero we need.
