Bazzite by default does not use swap. how have you arrived to this decision?
I thought zswap was enabled by default. as I see 4gb of swap on my system
Star citizen crash on loading even with full zram
helper group told me i need a swap on ssd in addition to make it run
zram is enabled by default
meaning RAM is being compressed to act as swap
you can change your zram allocation by editing
/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf to include zram-size=min(ram, 16384)
e.g.,
I guess the better question would be is how much physical RAM do you have?already done and it's not enough
i set zram to full ram, and once loading of the game it 12gb it's just shut down
did you reboot after making that change?
also run
zramctl to confirm the changeNAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition 12.3G 0B 100
/dev/sda2 partition 25.4G 0B -2
got both now
kde partition can manage it fine, thanks for the help :)
good luck with performance when it hits the SSD. your better option is to buy more RAM than to rely on swap
swap performance on SSD is bad compared to RAM
