Take this with a grain of salt as I’ve never once actually had to use swap for any of my systems running Linux.
It is supposed to be significantly faster and the actual compression / decompression is not actually very CPU intensive. There I’d also thr benefit of reduced ware to your drive theoretically if you’re in swap constantly but ive never heard of anyone actually having an issue with that.
How does creating a compressed block device out of my system RAM optimize my RAM usage? I’m pretty happy using my nVME drive for swap.
