I know some of you on this forum are well versed in the linux/computer manipulation space and might already know this method, but for those who don't.
Because megatech corporation are pushing AI into everything and everyone, they need ram to process all the operations the AI needs to function and this has caused RAM prices to get ridiculously high over the past few months [Rampocalypse Overview]. This is made it harder if you have a new computer (which I do) to have a lot of RAM on it (I have only 16GB)
I tried to launch Ck3 yesterday while having my browser windows open and this overloaded my RAM causing the launcher to crash. The same friend whos Thinkpad broke that I mentioned in another thread told me about swapspace. [Swapspace], downloadable in AUR package, is a virtual RAM manager. Basically how it works is that you assign a disk partition to SWAP and then swapspace uses this DISK for RAM, which I think is crazy.
In this ss, the RAM in swap space is circled in blue. The way swapspace works is that the ram is 'backup' meaning its only used up when all the other available ram is used.
Here I ran a RAM stress test on my computer and when the total mem was used it, it switched to swap meaning I effectively now have 40-45 GB of ram.
Installation note:
The first time I tried to install swapspace it corrupted my root somehow and I had to create a new partition from windows to install linux on.
