Post #3306671

Use systemd-zram-generator. The process is explain in the DebianWiki and the ArchWiki and this random blog, but it boils down to just a few commands you need to run: $ apt install systemd-zram-generator $ sudoedit /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf [zram0] zram-size = min(ram, 8192) compression-algorithm = zstd $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl start systemd-zram-setup@zram0.service You can tweak the settings above. Fedora recommends using zram-size = min(ram, 8192), which would correspond to 8GB ZRAM in your case. CachyOS uses a less conservative config with zram-size = ram. To confirm that zram is working, run zramctl. It should print something like NAME ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT /dev/zram0 zstd 8G 430.8M 137.6M 142.9M [SWAP] See also Improving system responsiveness under low-memory conditions.
