      Don’t do boy zram dirty, it has a ton of utility when you have ample spare compute and limited RAM.

      Doesn’t it compress the contents that it’s storing to help kind of get the best of both worlds?

      You get faster storage because it’s in ram still, but with it being compressed there’s also “more” available?

      I could be completely mistaken though

        You are correct, although zram uses more cpu power since it compresses things. It’s not really an issue if you’re not using a potato :=)
