I have been setting up Zram, Swap, Swappiness and EasyOOM daemon on 16gb ram boxes, or lower. Someone asked me about 32gb of ram, or more, and I’m unsure. Wondering if others have experimented with this!

      Local AI can chew it up. Wasn’t able to run certain jobs on 64Gb until I switched to zswap.

      Compiling Librewollf with a sufficient number of jobs is a great way to eat up 32GB of RAM, and the some.
