Sure, I think I suggested that (I was serious about Gnome, too!).=20 People tend to underestimate just how slow swap is by several=20 orders of magnitude, though. Not sure about LibreOffice, but I doubt you'll have much luck=20 building, say, Chromium with 2 GiB of physical RAM, with or=20 without swap =E2=80=94 but I admit I haven't been crazy enough to try :-) Another hack you can try is enabling 50% zstd zswap, but with 2=20 GiB of RAM and such an old CPU that too is far out in diminishing=20 returns territory. It could just crash your kernel.
