I run my laptop without swap and with /tmp on tmpfs; I have 16G RAM. I have not noticed problems. I do this because I'm using a single SSD and I'd rather not end up hammering the SSD if something is doing insane things with memory. I'd assumed this was a reasonable configuration these days - am I misinformed? J. -- 101 things you can't have too much of : 3 - Sleep.
