Hello, I came across zram recently and I’d like to know if I should use it, my laptop only has ~4GB of ram, and for the most part it’ll only stutter when I open multiple programs or a game, so would zram be adequate in my case?
Also, would the compressing and decompressing have a significant impact on my cpu?
Try it. The worst that happens is that it makes things slower and then you turn it back off.
This. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with zram on resource constrained VMs in an enterprise grade cluster.
