Hey, this is what the Apple haters are complaining about :)
Seems to be coming on Wintel too.
> unused pages are still pushed to your swap
On Windows? Pretty sure that both on Mac OS and Linux I can have the swap mostly unused. Or even run without swap on Linux.

My macOS system is not using its swap at the moment, but I saw it's using it when both memory pressure was low and there was free space. OTOH, on my 32GB Linux system, current state is as follows: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 31894 10051 2967 169 19498 21843 Swap: 15722 2506 13216 This is system has not been stressed to full RAM since last boot. It's Linux kernel's own choice to move these pages to swap over time. > Or even run without swap on Linux. This is how Kubernetes systems and most HPC clusters run, and hard-lock the moment you hit 0 on "free" column.
