And I installed Linux. And it’s awesome.
EDIT: yes, the GPU was a bit tilted. Fixed it now!

Curious, what tasks do you use that much RAM for?
Totally overkill. I thought I would be running lots of containers and virtual machines, but really never seem to use more than 16gb total. And I didn’t set up a swap partition, neither.
You should always use a swap partition for linux, even if you have more than "enough" memory. It just works better for a very very tiny loss of diskspace.

Swap space is good to have, but a swap file is more convenient than a swap partition
