Try it. I have configured ZRAM on Linux Mint and Debian, works like a charm.
If I may ask: why are you thinking of only committing 1 or 2GB to ZRAM? This way your net RAM capacity increase will only be a few hundred megs. I recommend to allocate 25% to 60% of your RAM to it.
To set it up, I have used an LLM for instructions, so don’t listen to me for derails. I recommend prompting/searching for instructions youryelf if others aren’t aplble to point you to a guide.












Yes, and I’m glad it didn’t happen this time. Lemmy would be a better place without those derailments (whether you’re a net proponent or net opponent of LLMs).
