I had no idea there was such a thing as a Linux swap file. I guess
that's a recent thing.

I had no idea there was such a thing as a Linux swap file. I guess
that's a recent thing. If my partition file becomes fragmented, is

Regarding swap file vs swap partition: Is one better than the other?
When I installed Kubuntu on my machine, both options were available and
I chose the swap file. The OS is installed on an SSD.
