From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Optimal ZRAM configuration for my device (discuss.tchncs.de)

I know this may sound like an over the top useless tinkerink, but I just like to tinker with, play around with stuff and learn, and that may be why I use Linux on my notebook.

I have read some articles about ZRAM and what might be the best configuration and even chatted with some generative models, but didn't come to a decisive conclusion regarding size, compression algorythm etc... I am asking anyone interested to respond about their experience and recommendations given my specs:

OS: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition) x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 7330U (8) @ 4.39 GHz
GPU: Amd Barcelo [Integrated]
Memory: 5.63 GiB (2 GiB is reserved by the GPU)

I use the notebook for school, mainly lightweight programming and using the browser.

I don't expect any magical improvements from the ZRAM as I already use it with the default config, just wanted to learn something new.
