The child already looks tired of the bullshit that happens with Linux. A few days ago I discovered that I had either a 6 or 8 gigabyte swap file. I have 20 gigs of ram already, and was running out of a 32 GB SD card...
What?
you're using an SD card as swap space? not sure how to interpret this
I'm using an SD card as a temporary main storage. I could technically put in an ssd, but I lost/broke the part where a screw would go to hold it in place (it's a strange laptop...), so the only option I would have is to tape it, and I don't feel comfortable letting it potentially flop around in there... As for what a swap file is (that's the name I found for it), it is virtual memory. It was reserving that space to use as RAM if need be, when I already have 2/3rds as much ram as storage.
You don't have to make a swap partition while partitioning your disk ๐
