blend freezes when running several programs at once

This is hard to reproduce but quite often when I for example torrent, leave a repo sync running and maybe do a bit of file management with dolphin, have a few Firefox tabs open, the system locks up. I’m pretty sure it can’t be running out of ram because I have 8gb ram and I set a generous amount of swap but it is quite annoying and I was wondering if there’s something I should be doing or stop doing

checkk ksysguard see what's consuming your ram install ksysguard through system if you don't have it

This is really embarrassing but the swap wasn't on, I am sorry for wasting your time!

Hi! I'm having the same problem. How did you turn on the swap, did you perhaps use GParted?
