Linux Performance: Almost Always Add Swap Space

What about VM’s? Does any/all of the above replies apply 1:1 to a Virtual Machine?

It’s never going to be an absolute “yes” hence the “almost always” in the title. But you will have to gauge on a case-by-case basis. But also know that most times swap space should indeed be enabled. Especially now with zram being enable or installed by default on some distros.
