  Counter point, set the ‘swappiness’ lower than the default 60. I’ve set mine to 30 and the system boots a lot faster. You could research and consider 10-20.

    What are you using swap for? On Fedora installs the swap is just zram.

    The worst case without swap is that oom gets triggered. If 16GB gets eaten up chances are it is a single app.
