Swap file ?

And if so, what size is it and where is it located ?

When installing any Linux OS it creates a "swap space", to substitute disk space for RAM memory when real RAM fills up and more space is needed. The swap space can either be a "swap file" or a "swap partition". Linux Lite, as well as most modern distros does not create a swap file but a swap partition by default which size is usually 2gb.  Users can and does create swap files for different purposes under different conditions to meet certain criteria or specific needs. To know a bit more read here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/...-swapspace
