Using swap on SSDs/NVME drives is not recommended, but here's what you can do if you really want more swap space available on your system:

# Replace "n" and /path... accordingly
sudo fallocate -l nG /path/to/swapfile
sudo chmod 0600 /path/to/swapfile
sudo mkswap /path/to/swapfile
sudo swapon /path/to/swapfile
sudo echo '/path/to/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
