Based on this, it is said that the standard swap size is the amount of installed memory(in case of < 32GB) + 2GB since kernel 4.0, and I think that YaST2 also decides the swap size according to the same idea.
Many thanks :)
Needless to say, this does not take into account hibernation, which Carlos often mentions, with considering that Carl does not use it.
