    unused memory is wasted memory

    Would be true, if new processes could just free some used (not to talk about not used but reserved) memory. But they can’t.

    I keep hitting the cache on my 32gb laptop. So yeah, I’m using it.

    But I made the dumb mistake of using a swap partition instead of a swap file

      What are the differences between swap a cache file? Why do you prefer the last one?

        I believe there’s a language or terminology barrier and the user is really referring to a swap file versus swap partition. Swap files are much more flexible.
