  1. 4:15 “...as far as I know, all the normal distributions set things up with swap partitions, not files, because honestly, swapfiles tend to be slower and have various other complexity issues.” -- Linus Torvalds https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/psa-linux-folks-stay-away-from-the-5-12-rc1-kernel/

  3.  @M1America  No, “-dev” are not “new versions” of packages, they are development packages. For example, to run an app which embeds Python, you need the libpython package. To build an app which embeds Python, you need the libpython-dev package.

  5. Just try removing packages, and see what happens. Even if you break the GUI, you can still log in via a text console and put back the GUI packages. If you accidentally remove the kernel and make your system unbootable ... well, you’ll know not to do that next time ;).
