Totally overkill. I thought I would be running lots of containers and virtual machines, but really never seem to use more than 16gb total. And I didn’t set up a swap partition, neither.
You should always use a swap partition for linux, even if you have more than “enough” memory. It just works better for a very very tiny loss of diskspace.
That’s cool, what do you use your VMs for? We have them setup at work too split resources but I can’t think of a personal reason to use a virtual machine.
Curious, what tasks do you use that much RAM for?

it’s nice to have in case you want to have bad computer hygiene and hibernate instead of shutting down
Even if I disable hibernate and suspend?
Swap space is good to have, but a swap file is more convenient than a swap partition
I’ve heard you can load and run windows 100% on ram. You should give that a shot. Just never fully shut down your PC.
32GB for Windows, 8GB for the software to run all the different RGB, that leaves you with what, 24GB for gaming?
You serious 32gb for Windows? I know it’s a resource hog but 8gb is more than enough for win11 not accounting any other software
Woooosh
VMs, containers, and running
make -j
(yep, that’s right, -j without specifying the maximum number of parallel jobs)For the Seconds chrome tab
I have 64 too and my usage breaks down to basically be 32 for windows, 32 for different VMs.
