Upgraded my Gateway E-475M laptop running Ubuntu 24.04.2 RAM from 2Gb to 4Gb.
Do I need to adjust my swapfile that hibernate uses (already at 4Gb)?
Thanks matigo - changed it to 8Gb...
Is there anything else needed to be done with this upgrade?

OK - adjusted my swapfile to twice my new RAM's size (RAM = 4GB ~ swapfile = 8Gb) using:
But, needed to ALSO revise my 'swappiness' from 80 (default is 60) where I had it using my old 2Gb RAM w/4Gb swapfile, to swappiness=40 using:

note: the above link forgets to tell you you must reboot to make the change go into effect...
Still gotta ask: Is there anything else needed to be done with this upgrade?
