> The old rule of thumb used to be 2x actual RAM for your swap file/partition size. Which was always a dumbass rule that made no logical sense. Like, I remember a time when I had 4 GB of RAM and had my swap set to 8 GB. Then I upgraded to 16 GB of RAM. Theoretically, I shouldn't even need a swap file anymore, since my old setup would max at 12 GB and yet I never had OOM problems, but that "rule of thumb" would dictate that I should increase my swap to 32 GB.
