Wrt swap: you can generally just use a swapfile. It doesn't even have to be very large. Making it a file makes it easier to manage than a partition. No, I don't know why the Debian and Ubuntu installers insist on making a partition for swap still.
- shmerl 8y agoYeah, swap file would work, except on BTRFS.
- joombaga 8y agoCan you not wake from hibernate if your swap file is on an encrypted volume? Just a guess.
- jcastro 8y agoUbuntu switched to swap files (not partitions) last year.
- shmerl 8y agoGood default choice, Debian is still using swap partition in the installer.
