The change says it will use 50% of user’s RAM size, but not more than 4G. I did not have chance to test how compression ratio depends on workloads, but I believew that it will be far more better than 1:1. Probably there should be some presets in Anaconda with "profiles" that may default to different swap / zram configurations. But I think as long as typical use-cases of users are covered (that's how I understand these settings were chosen), it seems to be better than status quo. > So, I am opposed to this change as is. > > > # Install systemd rust-zram-generator† package.

It is a programming language that is safer than C and is already used by some projects that we ship. rpm-ostree, firefox, librsvg2 and others. > Kevin Kofler > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - -- Igor Raits <ignatenkobrain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEcwgJ58gsbV5f5dMcEV1auJxcHh4FAl7Z+wkACgkQEV1auJxc Hh6TxRAAscjHaFs/BWxFAy2bwBeSjO+zJ8s2ZxjULiA8iyUmHooDX9JeRaL6i3/u hNEavH6+6uvl9NsOw/YkCoCCbZ8SlgU9rbXi9kbaVf15MdS4ROVJbTTuNzbSY6gB kzZEtjQRNmG3PKR8khxRbM2LJX4GzMUV5ZuWQfLnv0BsIouHo4wArZPLo6IrSVXv RIwkGmblRq+q9qHjxAeohvosiL3UbSKq0Rch1L+t6jf6Fn92dAtKdRgm+sYr4Dfq d5FvI/tCCc4qbOLCa6pNGGZ/KOzl/qExRbXieVgOU1ZdxZZlLctIV3NwNUPLSQX2 Zq1DVHeajCdA69KNwO7F6uJhX/LYOg6/Ovng8em1yC30U4HzF0Sxj+cIpm4wMOVR eAVF90yKK/1F2UQ0FhN0q6SDHNRztG0xPNKHnp+nuelQzpv0zN6pfNX4pvh0dOdD R+39XHx1/93hJfg+4uNNBX+pJeaZCFtWjr62BNTcmFBliyAVGuAB0pu4a8EhQdGz G9bE3UbmNRfPl5yxNpqM5gXaDlDhKoY/JRwDh6iXGu4PC9OKeWFZxm7+kh4pX+/J +1KeIER8soWem/uOL5BzXydjckbSF67zIOlmRN1EyZmF9/+latvTo6tp+PJ3bzt5 ORDwcLsY4a9P6nNYUkm5rgAT0atN1k5ev4McOIqduhNesER7ck4= =Dg2z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
