> that works just fine

Are you kidding me? If you're a full-stack developer, then try opening Android Studio & PyCharm IDE at the same time, and after approx. 1 hour, things just get horrible. Everything is stuck. I don't know exactly what is happening, but somewhere the Swap handling horrible wrong.

No such issues on Mac OS/Windows :/

This is not the general public experience. Sure, I've had similar issues before. Usually, I could trace the culprit to a specific motherboard chipset, or graphics card, not swap. Unless one of these apps is leaking memory.

On the other hand, I've had my fair share of windows weirdness. My work machine will from time to time not shutdown and I'll come the next day to a bluescreen. What does that say about windows? Nothing at all, it's likely a driver issue too.
