I noticed something called "swap" while researching. I know it's supposed to be upto twice the amount of RAM, but I can't seem to change it myself (if needed).

I would like to know if when I installed Ubuntu, the installation made the swap file for me, or do I need to create one?

Can someone give me some clarifying advice?

The swap space is a partition that ubuntu uses as something like virtual memory. Yes, it's created by ubuntu when you install it.

To change its size you need to use gparted to add space to it.

I don't know if it's a good idea to change the size of the swap.
