Considering most people will be using a device with 16GB+ RAM I believe that the default should be no swap files at all and at the very least an option checkbox to disable it
Reasons: Even older devices like the circa 2011 thinkpad laptops support 16GB (x220) and 32GB (W520) The last and best owner controlled x86 devices support 16GB (AMD FT3 pre-PSP laptops like the popular for qubes G505S) and 192GB (workstations/servers like the kgpe-d16) + I see absolutely zero reason to have swap on my 64GB RAM workstation. Pros: No extra SSD wear No risk of passwords/data written to disk by accident. Objections? Thoughts? I disabled mine in dom0 with no issues on a 8GB RAM laptop, sometimes I must shut down a VM to start another (I can't have tons of idling VM's) but other than that no issues. I also disabled mine in the AppVM's with no issues - although for some reason it magically re-activates when I update which is aggravating and I was wondering why that is if anyone can answer me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
