I guess it depends on your RAM usage. Currently I have an 8GB RAM laptop
but my usage never goes beyond 6GB (even doing scientific computations)
so I didn't bother allocating more then 1GB for my swap partition.

Hello,
How much swap space does 4GB ram ideally requires ? I have been
using the rule "RAM size x 2" for calculating the size of swap.
But as the RAM sizes are bigger nowadays, is this a wrong
calculation ? I mean, is it okay if I use 1 GB of swap space (or
lesser) for a 4gb RAM ?
(I use to suspend my system everyday by pressing alt+shutdown menu
in gnome 3)
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Jos Collin
Here is my viewpoint
Ramsize is typically 1.5 to one for system RAM up to 4 gigs, and
then around 0.6 gigs per gig of ram beyond. My 8 gig Fedora
system has allocated, 7 gigs of swap space.
