I have a samsung 850 evo 120GB ssd. I have installed ubuntu on it , with a 119GB / and 1 GiB Swap(on the ssd) . Is the swap a good idea? Should I remove the swap ? Problem is , I have only 1 GB ram.
EDIT - My question is not about where to put the swap , it's about how putting swap on the ssd affects its lifespan significantly.
I do not swap on ssd to avoid reduction of the life cycle, but I also have 16 GB RAM. Depending on your system ram is very cheap (8gb ddr3 30€). This would be the only good solution. You can try to turn off swapping, but this can decrease the performance of your system. You can install lubuntu-desktop and switch to lxde to safe ram
