@possiblylinux127 @ikidd Something sounds wrong there. I exclusively use LXC containers because I loathe docker and my containers boot basically instantly, and the networking is rock-solid.

@BlackRoseAmongThorns @daisyKutter Swap is a place on disk that gets used as a slow, temporary place to put memory when your RAM is full. Windows uses a swap file on an existing partition, while Linux generally uses a dedicated partition instead (although you can use a swap file if you really want to).
Appropriate sizes for the swap partition are hotly debated. Twice the size of your RAM if you have a small amount, or the same size as your RAM if you have lots is a good approximation.
@adespoton @misk I’m surprised at how many otherwise intelligent people I know have installed the NOT_A_NAZI.EXE program.
I mean, it was pretty painfully obvious for multiple decades in-between our repeated attempts to market them where their singular focus lay.
