I'm not the parent. But in the last 5 or 8 years, Linux swap has mostly been useless to me. I run a desktop with 16GB ram, have swappiness set to 0, and even when using maybe 5GB or 7GB for running programs, it wants to swap out all kinds of stuff. When I switch to another running program I have to wait for it to get taken out of swap. But I was using that running program just a while ago, why do I have to wait? And it doesn't help in thrashing in Linux, it does it anyway.
