Hello dear readers! The swap file is your computer’s virtual RAM. We need to increase the speed of the computer, we increase the physical RAM with virtual RAM. First of all, this method of storing data allows you to significantly speed up your computer.

Therefore, if installing Linux you did not create a paging file, you can create it after installing the operating system.

 If you forgot what swap file you have, you can view the current size of the swap partition with the command:
swapon –show

   Open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T), enter the command: swapon –show
  &nbspIf there is no swap file, then nothing will be shown

   If there is a paging file, it will show: physical memory -1 paging file -2

   Or you can open the system monitor and see the swap there.
We press MENU – Administration – system monitor

   To create a 10G swap file (change the value (10G) as you wish) run the command:

sudo fallocate -l 10G /swapfile

   Then run the commands in sequence:

sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

   Open System Monitor to make sure the system sees the paging file::

   Alternatively, you can do it with the command: swapon –show

   You can disable and delete the paging file with the command:

sudo swapoff -a

   That’s all ! Everything is simple and affordable.

   All happiness, success, health!
