I also agree that this 1 GB default is terrible. I have 16 GB RAM (maximum allowed on this laptop) and on Ubuntu 16.04 I had 8 GB swap and never noticed any performance issues. Now I reinstalled Ubuntu 18.04 from scratch and ended up with this 1 GB default, once I have a few Docker containers running, an IDE, and lots of tabs open in Chrome or Firefox, then I start getting slowdowns, sometimes to the point that the machine grinds to a halt and the only solution is to power off and restart.
I have added a swap file as per https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031275 /increase-swap-in-ubuntu-18-04-under-lvm-and-encrypted-file-system in the hope this will let me work as I did on Ubuntu 16.04, but this still could be improved for the out of the box experience. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767299 Title: Ubuntu 18.04 Installer creates swap partition too small To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/+bug/1767299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
