Does having swap memory damage SSDs too much, what do you think about it?

    But the swap partition is only used when you run out of ram right? If I have enough ram I should not worry about that.

        100% this. An aggressive memory manager could preemptively write everything from memory to swap even though it’s still in memory, in case it has to evict it quickly.
