Just pondering on SSDs and Swap.

If you have a system with just an SSD then what do you use as swap?

Assuming that you don't (as in most laptops and older desktops)
have
the
space for masses of memory?

"Most laptops"? 8G and 16G on the laptops in use here :-)

For some years now I've made sure no system I have anything to do
with
is running into swap.

I disable the swap and never run out of ram for what I do and I only
use 8GB of ram.

And you stupidly close apps when you stop using them for a bit,
and that is why you see a better result with an SSD. If you werent
that stupid, you wouldnt see any better result with an SSD if you
have
enough of a clue to not turn the system off when you arent using it.

It's left on all day. Only gets switched off at bedtime,

And doing that is stupid.

Why would I leave it turned on all night when it's not being used.

Because it starts instantly next day, stupid.

Lol. Don't talk daft.

Nothing daft about it.

I get up, press button to start computer, make a cup of tea, get
online, finish making tea, then onto the computer.

And if you werent actually stupid enough to do it like that,
you could just tap the touchpad and have it work instantly.


That is being stupid!!?
Get a life, Rod.
