minus-squarebrucethemoose@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoYMMV. Big ZRAM absolutely tanks performance for me because it “steals” space that could be used for normal memory. But if its for squirrling away a bunch of idle processes when multitasking like crazy, yeah, it can be wonderful. Just depends.
