@irfan@sakurajima.social I used to use zram+swapfile with Fedora Linux. In my experience, using zram+swapfile together has a negative impact on performance compared to using zram alone, especially when there’s memory pressure. Not a sudden freeze, but more of a slow, steady decline.

@nawanp@fe.disroot.org yes, don't mix them. Actually zram more suits for desktop load, but on servers better use zswap+swapfile for more predictably result. Down: Debunking zswap and zram myths [LWN.net] https://lwn.net/Articles/1064478/ @irfan@sakurajima.social
