Apple's MacBook Pro laptops have become increasingly unfriendly with Linux in recent years [...] But now with the latest Mac Mini systems employing Apple's T2 security chip, they too are likely to crush any Linux dreams.
At least until further notice, these new Apple systems sporting the T2 chip will not be able to boot Linux operating systems.
[...] By default, Microsoft Windows isn't even bootable on the new Apple systems until enabling support for Windows via the Boot Camp Assistant macOS software.

In my experience, there is no such thing as sufficient RAM. Mine may be mostly empty (okay, full up of cached files) five nines worth of the time but I've yet to find a box I didn't hit swap on eventually. Even with vm.swappiness set to 1.
Pro-tip: it's a damned fine condition to alert yourself on if you want to be able to deal with things before they manage to get completely out of hand. Having a swap file/partition as nothing but a time buffer for you to be able to investigate and fix the problem is quite valuable.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
