If you genuinely attempting to quantify this, you can create a swap file of any size right there on your drive. You could iterate and test every setting for every scenario. You could even change settings dynamically if you wanted to.
That said, I leave it to the kernel to figure out and over the past 25 or so years that’s been fine.
I’m assuming you’re familiar with Asahi Linux?
It’s still very much a work in progress.

At the moment I’m bridging the gap by using homebrew, UTM, ssh into local hardware and shortly remote desktop on EC2.
It’s far from ideal, but that’s where I found myself after my x86 iMac died last year, so I feel your pain.
I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic, observant, or something else. There have been many a meal where I was asked what I wanted to eat and it’s rare that I go beyond the words “surprise me”, knowing full well that the person asking would eat the same as I was offered, making the “surprise”, less of a risk and more of an adventure.
In this case, OP asked a completely unanswerable question to which there was absolutely no reasonable answer, since we know nothing about the person, their interests, their experience, the hardware they have access to, or anything remotely resembling a needs analysis.
So, even my answer, generic and random as it might appear, was based on how I use a computer, namely, to be productive. I’ve been using them for over 40 years, mostly like that, with some sojourns into art and personal expression, not nearly worthy of public scrutiny, but not specifically “productive” as such.
So … what were you attempting to say?
Whatever you need to be productive.
Wow, that brings back memories. Forgot about the whole Palm thing. That was a wild ride at the time.
Thank you!
I got a T-shirt from Mozilla in the early 1990’s and foolishly wore it to death. My Linux tie pin is somewhere, but I’m sure that my penguin tie has died, as have the Debian Potato CDs with boot disks for x86, PowerPC and SPARC.
Forgot about BeOS (and NetBSD for that matter), and wonder what came of BeOS.
Why NixOS? I’ve been using Debian since Slink and am interested to hear, what made you move?
Debian Slink
Before that, Windows NT, A/UX, Solaris and VAX/VMS.
Before that, Vic 20 and Apple II
Still using Debian every day whilst navigating the perils of MacOS.
I’ve been using Linux for over a quarter of a century. Initially I spent hours attempting to come up with the best partitioning scheme but these days I pick LVM and use the defaults.
If I run out of space, I add a drive (or grow the virtual one) and grow the filesystem into the extra space.
Sometimes I need temporary space and use sshfs to mount a directory from another machine.
In other words, today you have infinite options to adjust according to need, partition schemes are not nearly as important.
Even swap space can live as a file on a normal partition if required.
That said. If you have specific use cases, check what’s required. Specifically because different uses need different attributes, it pays to check.
Wallpaper, yeah, there’s a lot of that going around. The main feature discussed with the recent new release of apt discussed colour as the primary new feature. No mention of any actual substantive changes or reference to the impact on apt-get et al., or even a link to the detailed change log.
I’ve never used the tool, but I’m guessing that your Oracle database can create an SQL dump of its schema which presumably is how this tool ingests a database to chart.
If that’s how you want to run your server that’s your choice, but if it were me, I’d think long and hard about the legal implications of doing this.
So far you’ve not said anything about what you’re trying to achieve and that’s not helping.
What specifically are you attempting to achieve, because right now, what little you have shared sends up red flags and rings the alarm bells … loudly.
What actual problem are you attempting to solve?
If you want pihole blocking away from your LAN, set the DNS for the device to adguard and be done with it.
If you’re trying to do something else, give us some context.
I started using Linux every day in 1999 and I’m glad I did.
Managing a Linux server is no different from managing a Linux desktop. If you were to consider the GUI nothing more than a display layer over the top of a server, you’d have a good mental map of how things work.
To get started, use the same desktop distro as your server and use their preferred or default windowing system.
Once you’ve familiar with it and the pitfalls it comes with, you’ll know which questions to ask for your next choice, but you will be able to build on what you already know.
Skirting the edge of self hosting, I was faced with this question last month. I ended up with a Ubiquity UCG Ultra. It has all the network management tools on-board and for the first time in a long time I can manage my network from anywhere on the planet.
Access can be via a web UI, or an app.
If you open your CPU up to a jailbreak by being a dumkopf, does that really count as Open Source?
The boundary of where to host what, is not fixed. You cannot host the internet at home. Where people sit on the spectrum varies depending on skill, resources and need.
I highlighted several options that provide a solution for someone with limited skills and resources.
You could host a CALDAV server or a next cloud at home and use the suggestions I provided, or you could use those hosted by someone else.
My answer was to provide ideas, not a how-to guide, answering, in my opinion, exactly what OP was looking for.
That it doesn’t match your idea about solving the problem tells you that there are many ways to solve software problems. My suggestions had a low barrier to entry.
What’s your recommendation for OP?
About that.
Just because I’ve done it this way and haven’t had issues, doesn’t mean it’s the best or only way.
You dared to ask a question and the tools to explore answers are readily available.
This is how we as a society make progress.
Please don’t feel like my experience is the final answer to your question … my experience tells me that this is rarely … if ever … the case.
So … please … explore!
