minus-square@LordOfTheChialink4•9 months agoAnother reason for going with a swap file vs partition (if you need either) are nvme and SSD drives. A partition that’s only a few GB and written to constantly will wear out a solid state drive quickly. Using a swap file in a larger partition that has other data allows the drive to even out the wear across more storage cells.
