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.

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.
