@ryanc@infosec.exchange @CliffsEsport@mastodon.social the only case where i can really recommend against swap is in high security, "cannot write secret keys to disk, even encrypted" environments; see https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html for why you should probably have at least a bit of swap. (i provision all my new systems with 1 GiB minimum, and more if it's strictly necessary)

(and, as an aside, you should probably use zswap instead of zram: https://chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/zswap-vs-zram-when-to-use-what.html )
