I have been setting up Zram, Swap, Swappiness and EasyOOM daemon on 16gb ram boxes, or lower. Someone asked me about 32gb of ram, or more, and I’m unsure. Wondering if others have experimented with this!

In my testing, zram has much, much better compression than zswap.
The points about LRU inversion, cgroups, and so on are valid, but at the end of the day, I don’t really care. I was able to open as many firefox tabs as I wanted with zram, but I could not do so with zswap, and that’s what matters to me.
The author of a blogpost is a facebook engineer. Millions of ultra high performance Linux servers are a very different usecase than a single desktop. It’s perfectly reasonable for a solution for one to not be appropriate for the other.
Copied from my previous comment about this where ISO also gave a similar reply and was met with a similar response lmao.
It’s not the opinion itself, it’s just the attitude. Your comment is a perfect example of what I consider a good reply as you brought both hard data and some nuance in expressing how you formed your opinion
