If you have 48GB you don’t need a swapfile. To min-max you could lower the “swappiness” so it uses swapfiles way less. It’s just bonus memory that lives on the SSD. Swap files and swap partitions behave the same unless you run out of SSD space.
Linux system has better architecture than Windows so your system is safe unless you install a virus (of which there are way fewer).
Where you install programs? Just use the app store or terminal, the location doesn’t matter.
The “hardening” is interesting though, you can go really far into security if you want. If things are installed in user-space it can’t fuck with your computer on a fundamental level so it’s preferred. You don’t have to worry about it though unless your installing some niche programs from someone you know nothing about.








I mistrust because it’s inaccurate.
