You can get away with less if you don’t hibernate while using a ton of memory. For example, I have 32gb RAM and 16gb swap. If I tried to hibernate while rendering a video, then something would go wrong (IDK what tho. Maybe it would just say ‘no’?). But in most circumstances I’m just using like 8gb and hibernation works just fine.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong (I’m only half remembering), but don’t you also need as much swap as you do RAM to hibernate?

I still follow the old twice-your-ram rule; 128GiB swap for meeeeeeee
