I have an updated desktop, to work with office/internet and some virtual machines. I have a:
- MSI Z370-A Pro
- Samsung SSD 970 EVO PCI-E NVMe M.2 500 GB
- G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3200 PC4-25600 16GB 2x8GB CL16
- Intel Core i5-8400 2.8GHz BOX
I’ve read that recently Ubuntu has changed the swap partition to a file.
1 - Which size of partition/file would you recommend? Some people say to have almost no swap, others say that the same as RAM... I think that having swap is bad for me as I have a high RAM speed...
2 - How can I pass from a partition to a file? Suppose I have to disable swap partition, delete it, merge with home or root and then create a swap file.

3 - Can I stay without any swap partition or file?
