    Nice.

    My machine has only 8gb of ram. Since I use a lot of Gmail, chrome and other tabs (WhatsApp, Google messages) I often ended up swapping and getting really bogged.

    With zram, all the code on those tabs is usually quite squash able, so rather than the delay of swapping to SSD, it swaps into ‘compressed ram’.

    Sure it’s not great, but my computer is more stable with 4g zram than with 8g and real swap.
