The graph is on a logarithmic scale btw

    Gaming isn’t heavy on ram. You need fast ram not lots of ram for gaming. Lots of ram helps with heavy workloads, compiling and software development and stuff. Playing a game only needs the recommended amount for that game, then as fast as you can get so as not to be a bottleneck for your CPU.

      Alright, well, that’s not really addressing the question. Without a swap partition, you shouldn’t get much wear on your SSD, right?

        Sorry, I may have misunderstood. No, if you don’t use your SSD as a swap device, you won’t use or wear your SSD with swap. With 64gb ram and just playing AAA games, you won’t have much need for any kind of swap. If you decide to do any heavy workloads that are heavy on ram requirements, zswap is an option to keep swap off your SSD and thus prevent wear on the disk. However if you are very limited on ram for your workload, zswap might not provide enough space, then traditional SSD swap will be the final option.

          Okay cool, thank you 😊🙏

          Sorry

          No worries, I think maybe I came off a little bit annoyed, which I assure you I wasn’t. 😁
