And should i remove the swap here? (I have 8gb of ram and 4 of swap) Oh and how to i set up Zram?If you only have 8gb you're probably swapping a lot, depends on what you do with your PC. Anyway, to set up zram the easiest way is to try this: https://github.com/systemd/zram-generator/tree/main Also, take a look at the zram page on the arch wiki, even if you're not using arch it's very well made: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ZramI usually only see swapping when I'm like, playing on big Minecraft modpacks which i don't usually do much, but ok thanks!
