Does having swap memory damage SSDs too much, what do you think about it?

    No, it’s used much more often. How often is determined by a value called swapiness.

      100% this. An aggressive memory manager could preemptively write everything from memory to swap even though it’s still in memory, in case it has to evict it quickly.
