Do I need to create a swap partition in LMDE4?

Post by greengreen »

Hi,
I'm planning a clean install to change from Linux Mint to LMDE 4.

Since LM20.1 is Ubuntu based, I was OK with swap file instead of swap partition.
Is the swap file OK with LMDE4?
Or do I need to create a swap partition in LMDE4?

I enjoy using LM, but do not feed the trolls.

Thank you for your quick reaction.
Is the swap file automatically generated if nothing is done during installation?
