I want to say that it really depends on this:
- What do you do on your system (what applications do you use, what DE, how
is your production ram-hungry, maybe it is some large application that
you're contributing on)
- How do you do things on your system (shutting down machine every day or

I am afraid this is an ".. it depends" question.
If you work with large images or data sets, swap can be really handy.
If you are doing a little programming, web browsing, reading email you
will *probably* be ok, but why risk it?
I have a 32gb ram in a master server for an mfs filesystem - it

Just set swapiness to a low number. I think mine is set to 10.

This question keeps getting asked every time people go past some imaginary
large figure
Here is an article suggesting to have a _tiny_ bit of swap. They say
as recently as 2019 that Linux under memory pressure acts poorly with
_zero_ swap.

As long as you're only running Linux on the machine, I would say yes,
you're safe to do that.
If you're going to

yes.
Hello!
Could I turn my Linux swap off.
I have 32 GB of RAM memory, I suppose my system don’t need swap, because
I’vea lot of RAM, is this true?
