- I can get away with about half the memory on Linux vs Windows (significant contribution comes from not having to run VMs for docker and WSL, but also it seems applications and services use less memory on Linux.)
- I always used to use swap. These days it seems defaults in distro setups pushes one away from swap.
- For some reason I feel it worked better before (always w/swap).
- These days I feel I see some problems either I use swap or not.
