Estoy muy #pollavieja y no veo ventaja o sentido de usar #swap a pesar de #zswap o #zram. Además no entiendo las diferencias entre unas y otras. Hablo en el contexto de PC de usuario. No servidores ni pollas en vinagre.
De momento sigo sin swap y me va genial.

Se viene un #debian virtualizado para seguir jugando con cositas del núcleo, memoria, #zram, #zswap, #hardening y #optimización 🙂

I've been trying to figure out how to address/work around #Linux 's hunger for RAM and non-ideal/insufficient controls around this. I remembered seeing an article by #KDE about them trying to address this themselves on their new distro and stumbled upon this issue they created - pertaining to topics like #Zram, #Zswap, etc.
It's great to see that this issue is acknowledged for once instead of the constant stream of Linux extremists swearing that it's not an issue, or somehow it being an issue is an attack to them and their beloved OS/distro/DE. Also it's always a suspicion I have but even in this short issue thread, it's clear that Linux people (hence, devs) are often only familiar with #Windows (and #Android), so the benchmark is always them - which isn't a problem 'cept they both suck ass (in a lot of aspects but esp this topic on RAM usage/OOM handling).
I'm glad to see at least one comment mentioning how #Apple does it on #macOS (maybe also #iOS) - which offers a far superior experience and is exactly why 8 freaking GB RAM on a #Mac or 4GB RAM on an #iPhone is no big deal at all (plenty, even), unlike on other systems/platforms. It's high time for Windows to die so our beloved Linux devs look at Apple instead for benchmark/inspirations. It doesn't help ofc that macOS can easily be insufferable to use when ure already on Linux land, but I promise it won't even be close to half as shitty as Windows, and there def are alot of things we could learn/benefit from and replicate.

I've been slowly moving to #zswap. Though now, quite quickly thanks to this article. 😅 Especially when using #NVMe, the advantage is quite apparent. 😉

tl;dr - (almost) always use zswap

Nice reading although I still use zram for most.

Ah, the classic "Let me explain why you're wrong about #zswap and zram" rant, complete with obligatory self-promotion links. 🙄 Who knew compressing RAM could be so controversial? But hey, if you need more jargon in your life, this blog's got you covered. 💻🎉

TIL about #zswap "a compressed write-back cache for swapped pages, as a form of virtual memory compression". this will hopefully came in handy soon for performance :)
also there are zram and zcache (https://askubuntu.com/a/472227 has a comparison)
