I am unable to get zram-swap installed due to a missing dependency (swap-utils). Is zram-swap deprecated or is the swap-utils package still being built?
What about the sysctl parameters? Maybe we need to increase the vm.swappiness (from 60 to 100) or something else when zram-swap installed?
I'd rather not have the zram configuration touching sysctl parameters arbitrarily. Not all systems are equal, it's up to the administrator to decide. This is what I use.
vm.page-cluster = 0
vm.swappiness = 200
Note that a swappiness value above 100 is a recent feature (starting with Linux 5.8).
