It's not about the amount of swap space, it's a problem that happens when swapping happens for big chunks of data at a time.

Windows aggressively swaps out things way before it's necessary, you can try increasing the system's "swappiness"; I'm writing this from my phone, but when I get to my PC I'll write out how to do it (unless somebody else does it before I do).

You can set it by writing vm.swappiness=60 in a file like /etc/sysctl.d/50-swappiness.conf.The value 60 is arbitrary, if you increase it the system will try to swap out things more aggressively; the name of the file is also partially arbitrary, but AFAIK, it has to begin with two digits — the system will read all the files inside /etc/sysctl.d in order, and the settings in higher-numbered files will be applied over lower ones.

Officially, this is the explaination of the vm.swappiness parameter.You can read and write the value with your shell:

 bash

    
#!/usr/bin/bash
sysctl vm.swappiness  # shows you the current value
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=69  # sets the swappiness to 69 AND shows you the new value
