Anyway, to set up zram the easiest way is to try this: https://github.com/systemd/zram-generator/tree/main Also, take a look at the zram page on the arch wiki, even if you're not using arch it's very well made: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Quills@sh.itjust.works [S] 1 point 2 years ago I usually only see swapping when I'm like, playing on big Minecraft modpacks which i don't usually do much, but ok thanks! permalink fedilink source parent
