And I installed Linux. And it’s awesome.

EDIT: yes, the GPU was a bit tilted. Fixed it now!

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

[–] Perroboc@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Even if I disable hibernate and suspend?

Swap space is good to have, but a swap file is more convenient than a swap partition
