The internet is srs bzns.
I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.
I wonder if anyone has actually managed to do this
someone put swap on google drive
Android studio was asking for more ram, what else would i do?
Use dropbox like any pleb would
Print it out, fax it to the archive so they can scan it there and digitally archive it, like the german government would
That way you'll know you've run out of physical memory when the cd-rom starts spinning up.
Linux doesn't wait for you to be out of memory to swap-out pages.
Oh, my bad! Goes to show I'm not familiar enough with the workings of swap space.
That's true for most people talking about swap online.
A processor and ram is merely "recommended specs"
Not true. For modern Linux you need a processor with a memory controller and 8mb of ram. If also need to be a processor from the 21 century.
Openwrt beg to differ, 
https://popovicu.com/posts/789-kb-linux-without-mmu-riscv/ here's guide for mmu less Linux and here's how it runs doom https://hackaday.com/2022/12/07/a-tiny-risc-v-emulator-runs-linux-with-no-mmu-and-yes-it-runs-doom/
I recently installed openwrt in a banana pi, and it's so cool to see this distro being mentioned around. It's definitely a different linux experience, even after using linux for more than a decade.
Yeah, never had a problem with incompatible hardware on Linux.
No siree, not a once!
More likely you have issues with incompatible software.
Nah hardware drivers or support for certain hardware is still a thing. I mean compared to 5 years ago it isn't but compared to windows it still happens sometimes
Would it be possible to forgo ram for just swap?
No it is not possible. For a more detailed explanation read here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/928308/is-it-possible-to-use-ubuntu-without-ram-at-all
Actually, I believe it should be possible (albeit horrendously slow) by memory-mapping the disk to address space.
Btw. If you disable the Intel ME, TPM is nonfunctional.
Yay!
How did you do it on the 9th and 10th generation processors?
3mdeb.com, no idea how they do it
