Swap but better it behave mostly like actual ram and fast too, not as fast as actual ram but still way faster than swap I can open 5 browser tabs one of them playing a video while compiling a software I don’t feel my system slow down at all
It’s the opposite actually, in terms of implementation Zram is a hack, but it does have it’s use case when your system load doesn’t far exceed your total RAM, on the other hand swap is tightly integrated into the system and it’s on it’s way to implement “Virtual Swap” which is effectively Zram but not a hack, making it like a hundred times better, see This blogpost for a detailed explanation

I always confuse ZRAM and ZSwap. From my understanding ZRAM is the better one and Zswap is kinda outmoded.
It turns into a rabbit hole every time I gotta reference it! Lol
