It's been a while since I did it, but I thought the defaults more or

it did. If I wasn't happy with the sizing, I could tweak things.
Thanks! So, should I not bother with setting up a swap partition? And is hibernate supposed to work out of the box automagically? (I am talking of F41 if it matters.)
Many thanks again, and best wishes,

Depending on what you are doing, a swap may or not be needed. I do
graphics work and there are times that I have filled all my ram and
still used swap which prevented issues.
I have a machine with 32G of ram and 8gig swap.
I find that Firefox can use up a large portion of ram at times. Of
course I abuse it with hundreds of open tabs.
