Not sure why that is, but I have 32 GB of RAM and I would like my system to utilize it as much as possible, but as you can see in the screenshot, the system is only using 5.66 GB of the physical RAM, but swap is still being used in a high number. Is this normal? Should I lower the swappiness to lower than 10? Should I let it be? Thanks
Here is the screenshot

      Nah, without breaking stuff, you never really learn

      Hands-on experience is important.

      Edit: obviously don’t do this with production machines, but I thought that was given…

        pretty much. learning things without a corresponding “oh… shit.” moment, just never quite stick with you the same way.

          This is 100% it. The sleepless nights I’ve spent hunting for solutions after nuking everything, taught me a great deal. It was even so much fun, too.
