zRam is a virtual memory compression using block devices named /dev/zram using a fast compression algorithm (LZ4) that compress the least recently used (LRU) or inactive space in the memory allows the GNU/Linux kernel to free up more memory with less performance hit.
zRam is greatly increased the available amount of memory by compressing memory without swap disks/partition. It is recommended for the user to use zRam instead of not use/disable the swap to prevent out of memory (OOM) killer. Create a zRam block devices Load the zRam modules to the kernel using modprobe:
sudo modprobe zram
Set the zRam extremely fast compression algorithm using lz4:
