When I'm playing minecraft, my computer often has to swap because Google Chrome takes much RAM, too. So, I'd like to manually swap out Google Chrome. I know that I can temporarily stop all its processes with SIGSTOP, but how can I force them into swap? Or is that a bad idea?
Linux – Force swapping of certain stopped processes

Maybe try a command like this to temporarily use a lot of memory to force Chrome (and everything else) to swap out before starting minecraft
