No. Most of the build jobs are fast and small. A couple take up gigabytes at a time. Swap is on SSD anyway. Its fast enough.

I also use NixOS and GuixSD. There are cases where binary caches haven’t caught up with the package definition. Situations like Librewolf, LibreOffice and kernel all compiling at the same time.

Sure I could mess around with limiting jobs and build runners… Or I could just have swap, and never worry about it again.

Just a BTRFS swapfile. I’m not worried too much about performance. I rarely hit it and most of the time i don’t even need it. Until I do.

Compiling Librewollf with a sufficient number of jobs is a great way to eat up 32GB of RAM, and the some.

Been around since OSS and ALSA was the new kid on the block. Yet to experience these supposed sound issues.

So just another opinionated Linux distro?
