I did similar with my 32GB laptop, but it was fairly flaky for ~4 years and I just recently put 48GB of swap on and it's been so much better. It's using over 20GB of the swap. The are cases in Linux where running without swap results in situations very similar to swapping too much.

What kind of workload do you run that consumes 20 GB of swap???
Chrome and Slack. :-(
Oh god... My company uses Teams and it is one of the main reasons why I installed so much RAM on my workstation. Part of me wishes that the recent increase in RAM prices will force companies to reduce the ridiculous memory footprint of their software.
