Early swap usage
by ychaouche from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VY2K)
Hello.
I'm using Kubuntu 19.10 and noticed that swap was used very early after starting the desktop, even if there's still RAM available (4Gb RAM, KDE Plasma Desktop). How can I troubleshoot what's causing this early use of swap ? isn't swap supposed to be used only if RAM is full ? can I do something about it ?
