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.
If you’re able to have swap, Zswap is supposed to be better.
Zram is intended for devices with no swap
…This appears to be amazing advice.

ah fair enough, worst case scenario if they dont know what to do with that much ram (I would build a homelab) they could also have a ramdisk
