I haven’t had swap since I started using 32GB of ram and I’ve been fine. Might be worthwhile to use LVM for a more adjustable partitioning just in case. I made the mistake of making root 50G and I’ve been fighting with it for a while.
Yeah, 32g is barely enough for what I do daily at work, so I have similar amount of ram combined with similar amount of swap file so I can safely hibernate even when the ram is full.
My initramfs and kernel have grown to about 300MB per version. With most distro keeping at least one old kernel+initramfs as backup in case of boot failure, I’d go for a much bigger boot partition.
Why not BRTFS for the /home partition?

swap is there so u can hibernate rather than shutdown
