</div>By the sound of it, you have a machine with UEFI and I believe that<br>
works better with 64-bit Linux, yes.<br>

If so, you do not need swap for performance reasons, but beware that<br>
without a permanent swap partition, your machine will not support<br>
hibernation.<br>
<br>
If you do /exceptionally/ memory-hungry things, then there are 2<br>
alternatives for temporary swap. You can use either or both together.<br>
<br>
zRam:<br>

(Possibly slightly better if you use lots of programs at once.)<br>
<br>
Swapspace:<br>

(Possibly slightly better if you use a smaller number of programs but<br>
some handle huge files, or many large files)<br>
<br>
But in my experiments, note that neither works with hibernation:<br>
