sem | What size should my Swap partition be on an SSD with a 25 GB / partition? top shows that I have 3652 MiB of Memory | 18:12 |
---|---|---|
sem | i found this page which helpfully has a table. It recommends 6 GB for a system with 4 GB ram if you want to support hibernation... Maybe I will forgo hibernation (because i have SSD) and use 2 GB swap | 18:24 |
sem | i am going to install lubuntu 22.04 on a laptop from 2009; if it works ok, I will maybe upgrade my 20.04 partition to 22.04 | 18:49 |
arraybolt3 | Hibernation doesn't work all that well on Linux anyway, so no great loss. | 18:49 |
arraybolt3 | Personally I would go with RAM compression rather than a swapfile though. Faster, less wear-and-tear on the disk. | 18:49 |

sem | thanks for the tip, i'll read up on it | 18:56 |
sem | What do you think about the CPU load on a 1.4 GHz dual-core cpu from 2009? Maybe I am better off with the wear-and-tear on the SDD with swap | 18:58 |
arraybolt3 | The CPU load of RAM compression is very minimal. | 19:44 |
arraybolt3 | I'm using it on an old repurposed Chromebook that I reflashed with MrChromebox firmware and installed Lubuntu on it, the CPU is quite slow and yet RAM compression doesn't hardly affect performance at all. | 19:44 |
arraybolt3 | sem: ^ | 19:44 |
sem | thanks for the tip | 20:41 |
