    That’d be stupid because it wont go away.

    It doesn’t need to go away. Just continue to ignore it.

    It’s just an office suite, one that’s already fully functional and works great. It doesn’t need AI. Rejecting AI won’t hurt them at all, even in the very long term.

    You’re going to run into issues with your motherboard’s SATA or NVME (or PCIE) controller throughput well before you get close to actual RAM speeds.

    Once you reach that bottleneck, the speed won’t increase anymore when you add more drives. The motherboard architecture just doesn’t support accessing any kind of storage device at that speed.

    If you don’t actually need the swap, Linux isn’t going to make use of swap.

    Eh, yes and no.

    It will offload things from RAM into swap in order free up RAM space for disk cache. Which is kind of a weird reversal when you think about it, loading your RAM contents onto disk so that you can load your disk contents onto RAM. But by doing this to idle processes in order to disk cache files you’re likely to use soon, the system does become significantly faster and more responsive.



  • Yes, swap partitions are shit.

    The real hotness is swap drives.

    Just the use that your old 64GB SSDs were waiting for!

    (Fun fact: in Linux, if you have multiple swap partitions mounted, the kernel will automatically use striping (like RAID) in order to read and write from them as fast as possible. If you have multiple small SSDs used for swap, the read/write speed from swap can actually become pretty fast.)
