Would be nice if I could force programs to use more ram though. I actually have 100GB of DDR4 my desktop. I bought it over a year ago when DDR4 was unloved and cheap. But I have tried to force programs to not be offloading as much. Like Firefox, I hate that I have the ram but it’s still unloading webpages in the background and won’t use more than 6GB ever.
Programs that care about memory optimization will typically adapt to your setup, up to a point. More ram isnt going to make a program run any better if it has no use for it

They’ve got RAM! Get’em!
Will disabling the swap file fix that?

Set swappiness to 5 or something similar, or disable swap altogether unless you’re regularly getting close to max usage
RAM disk is your friend.
