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
