Why would a computer *insist*, to the point of not giving me an option, on using a swap partition on a different drive entirely.

And this is AFTER I manually created a swap drive, and selected it as my swap, and the OS still installed it with BOTH the manually created one and the one on the opposite drive as swap… like wtf?

And it has made it so I cannot boot my Pop OS anymore. And I was just trying to dual boot Zorin.

I cannot understand this, and it happened before. I had a swap partition on a drive that had nothing to do with my OS drive. Just a random 250GB in my hot swap stack. Took it out one day having no idea, computer won’t boot.

Now at least I know what’s going on, but same thing happened. Makes no fucking sense.

Sounds like a UI issue in the setup. It is better to have swap on a different drive, but you should always give users the option. The best answer, though, is buy more RAM.
