20gb ram, 10gb zram, 10gb swap, default values. What should I change?

I assume I should get rid of most of the swap. I also read somewhere to increase... swappiness of zram?

Oh, I think I might have thought zram was similar to swap, I didn't realize it takes up ram. Is there a way to see how much ram it's using? What do you think I should set my zram amount to(and how do I change the zram amount, I'm using zram-config)

Zram is basically a compressed swap device located in your ram. You can check the usage by running zramctl.

I would recommend setting mem_limit to 10 GB or disk_size to 40GB and algorithm to lz4.
