In a business server scenario, I see needing swap as a bad thing. Get more ram instead, there is money involved. The link is not a recommendation for openSUSE, but for SLE. For business servers.
And, lets face it, a business server is not going to need to hibernate; its a 7/24 device!
There is a use case for swap on servers, though: when mains goes out and the battery watcher daemon kicks in: hibernate the machine in emergency, in order to restore without losing anything. Al services up, nothing lost. No admin time needed, either, except to switch on.
Not the case for people on a budget.
Once the budget runs out, no more RAM. And before the budget runs out it is liable to go toward more 'disk'.
Right. Just what I did recently: not "more disk", but "faster disk". I plugged in an SSD. Not NVMe, I don't have PCIe, it seems. Old board. The difference in swap speed in Leap is surprising. Otherwise, the 6 GiB of used swap I had the other day would have been horrible. I simply did not notice till I looked. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
