Uh, I moved to swap files 10 years ago and more recently to no swap. I didn't find it necessary to blog about it.

  The bigger question is why now? I thought swap partitions were down to almost nothing about ten years ago, because the overhead was too high? I guess NVMe gave it a second wind?

    Because recent distributions have enabled it by default. I hadn’t used swap for a decade or so since acquiring 16gb ram, but one day noticed a new swapfile in my rootfs.

      Which distros can you think of offhand? I wasn’t aware of this.

        Ubuntus. Fedora is now using zswap.

  It seems reasonable that a university would take a moment to share their methods and findings so that others who might consider doing the same thing can benefit from the experience of others.
