It seems that swap is no longer supported on Bazzite? Is there any other alternatives we can do for caching?
One thing I noted about the zram is that it is configured as:
$ cat /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf
[zram0]
zram-size=max(ram/4, 4096)
compression-algorithm=lz4
But the Arch Wiki and general googling seems to point to min(ram / 2, 4096)
being the common setup for zram-size, and compression uses zstd. Any particular reasons for the difference?
Also, is there any major issues with Auto UMA? Anyone using ROG Ally; does it often cause issue and is it worth going from 4GB UMA to Auto or 2GB?
Overall, I just wanted more RAM. There was some annoyance with how I can run out of memory and the system (presumably systemd-oomd) kills either one of my browser’s process (so I need to close it manually) or my Resilio Sync, or whatever small game I was playing at the time. Ideally, I’d also love for enough RAM to be able to run memscan with any
first search.
12GB is just a bit too restrictive for me, and the default zram settings doesn’t seem to cover it.
