On the topic of a swap partition, that is usually absent, as is the
partitioning of the drive into various parts for O/S, user data etc.
That's a 50 year old relic for use cases where you are running a
timesharing server for multiple users with limited RAM and disk.
I omitted to mention, there is a modern use case for a swap partition.
That is on a micro cloud server with only 1GB RAM
This is one of my Linode systems
root@localhost:~# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sdb partition 524284 108052 -2
/swapfile file 2097148 752 -3
And also a correction to my previous post about standard debian. The
desktop version does come with a swap partition
root@client:~# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/nvme0n1p3 partition 1000444
742724 -2
