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.

    I usually run the default arch zram config which is 50% of the RAM. For your case I’d go with 2 or 3 GB
