Size zram the way Fedora does
zram-size = min(ram, 8192) is Fedora's default since F34, where zram-fraction=1.0 with max-zram-size=8192 has run on desktops for five years. The previous min(ram / 2, 8192) halved that on every machine below 16G with nothing behind the fraction; at 16G and above the two already agree. A changed size only reaches a running device on the next boot, so the migration resizes an empty device now and asks for a reboot otherwise. It asks the generator what the config evaluates to rather than repeating the expression here, and does neither when the device already matches.

# Compressed swap in RAM, sized the way Fedora has shipped it since F34: all of
|

# memory, capped at 8G. Fedora weighed the worry that incompressible pages would

# tie up RAM against five years of desktops reporting no trouble from it, which

# The generator's own default caps this at 4G, which sends machines with a lot

# of memory to the disk swapfile far earlier than they need to go.
|

# The cap is what bounds the downside. A browser-heavy desktop can drive zstd
|

# down near 1.1:1, where the device backs far less than it advertises, and 8G
|

# keeps that bounded on any machine large enough to notice. The disk swapfile
|

# sits behind it at pri=0 for everything past that.
