- Enable ZRAM on Linux to improve performance and save money on RAM upgrades.
- Switch from older zram-config to newer zram-tools for better management and support for modern compression like Zstd.
- Configure ZRAM settings in /etc/default/zramswap to use Zstd algorithm and allocate 75% of RAM for swap.
- Verify Zstd kernel support and restart the service to apply changes.
- Check ZRAM is enabled by default on Raspberry Pi OS, configurable via /etc/rpi/swap.conf.
