Swappiness is still set at 60 in LL5

[Moltke]

I am still wondering why the swappiness is still set at 60 for Linux Lite 5x. I was expecting that it has been reduced to at least 10 for old HDD and SSD for this upgrade. When I was stil in LL 4.8 with an old HDD, I already reduced my swappiness from 60 to 10. Now in my new SSD, I have reduced mine to 5 for faster performance. High swappiness is IMHO, only fit for servers, and low swappiness will immunize the computer to memory shortages caused by temporary big files.

Code:

cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

I see that in your profile says your system has 6GB of RAM, with that amount a swappiness of 10 seems resonable, however, other users with less RAM available on their systems; 1 or 2GB, a value of 60 might be a better choice since it'll help if and when system needs it. The more the RAM the less swappiness value should be, the less the RAM the more swappiness is better. For instance, a system with 32GB of RAM may not even need swappiness at all. My Desktop pc has 4GB and it barely uses swappiness so I made it 10 logn time ago.
