>#zswap vs #zram in 2023, what's the actual practical difference?
Interesting discussion on this eternal debate.
It's done my head in for years, but typically i lean to no swap partition/file, then use `systemd-swap`.
$> sudo blkid | grep z
/dev/zram5: ... TYPE="swap"
/dev/zram3: ... TYPE="swap"
/dev/zram1: ... TYPE="swap"
/dev/zram6: ... TYPE="swap"
/dev/zram4: ...TYPE="swap"
/dev/zram2: ... TYPE="swap"
/dev/zram0: ... TYPE="swap"
/dev/zram7: ... TYPE="swap"

To check if your ZSWAP is running smoothly, follow the 2nd reply on the below article and create this amazing little script - just run it with sudo.
And pls upvote this 2nd reply if you like the script , it deserves much more attention (I didn’t write this):

If you are running Linux with 4GB RAM or less, I would highly recommend you try ZSWAP. You are probably looking to significant performance/ response improvements. This article is solid write-up with easy to follow instructions:
