    Hello deepin community,
    I am a super newbie at linux, so at the time of installation i didn't choose to have a swap partition, after looking into possible alternatives i found i can still have a swap partition or a swap file after the installation is done without the needing to re-partition my disc.
    I would like to know how can i create my swapfile.
    Ps i searched for a few tutorials but they were all for ubuntu, not deepin.
    Once again, Thanks for accomodating me.

    Both ubuntu and deepin are ported from Debian GNU/Linux, so if those tutorials are for ubuntu users, they might as well work for deepin linux.

    And if your machine has many RAM, say like 16GiB or so, normally there is no need to create/recreate any SWAP partitions or swap files.
