I’ve heard a lot of people say your swap should be 2x RAM… but do I really need 32GB of swap?

    If it’s a laptop and you want to be able to hibernate, swap must be large enough to hold system memory, plus a little extra just in case. Other than that, everything depends on the workload. Generally, no. Maybe a few gb in most cases.
