Why is swap not enabled after boot? I always need to run `swapon -a`

Well whadayaknow!

The good news: running sudo mkswap nvme1n1p3 fixed it, all else remains the same except I put the new UUID that mkswap showed into fstab.

The bad news: we can no longer debug why the previous swap partition wasn’t working.

Aaaand, ironically this happened to me for the first time:

That’s both memory and swap filled, and the system gone unresponsive for like 5 minutes until the OS managed to kill an app.

The end. :joy: :skull_and_crossbones:
