Agree. I tried using a swapfile last year-ish, as the internet experts tell you to. I have 64GB of RAM. If I fresh boot and start a few apps I'll be using maybe 16GB RAM + 0GB swap. Then a few hours later I see I'm using 8GB of RAM + 8GB of swap... why? Why did Linux waste IO moving data to disk when there's no memory pressure?

That's why I don't use swap.
