How enable zram module on kernel (debian lik distro)?

zram info

There has been this zram-config script in the wild for over 7 years that for some reason has been emulated and copied blindly with no actual reference to the kernel docs or thought as it would seem.
If you just need some free RAM, you can restrict crocesses to a certain amount of it using:
systemd-run --user --scope -p MemoryLimit=500M firefox &
disown -r
Hide console output
command > /dev/null 2>&1
Explanation:
1. command > /dev/null: redirects the output of command(stdout) to /dev/null
2. 2>&1: redirects stderr to stdout, so errors (if any) also goes to /dev/null
&>/dev/null: redirects both stdout and stderr to /dev/null. one can use it as an alternate of /dev/null 2>&1
