I assume I should get rid of most of the swap. I also read somewhere to increase… swappiness of zram?
Odd consideration, but… I use 16Gb of ram and I have zero swap space and I’ve never seen a freeze in the three years this system has been assembled.
It could just be the way I tend to use my PC, light photo manipulation, some audio editing, some gaming just not AAA. I’m never stressing my system unless I’m opening a compressed file or rendering a video.

You won’t see big problems until you use most of the ram, then you’re toast. Also Linux (if that’s what you’re using) prefers to have more cache at the expense of swapping out pages. There’s a lot of rarely used code on many apps that can be safely swapped out to get you more cache.
