Mem:          3.7Gi       3.5Gi        34Mi        84Mi       224Mi       114Mi

/dev/zram0 lzo-rle      14.8G  7.9G  1.9G  1.9G       6 [SWAP]

And the system is still surprisingly responsive for a low-power CPU.

Hi moonwalkers.

After your enthusiastic description I thought I try zram.
I have used this guide to set it up and it seems to work
https://www.techrapid.uk/2017/04/create-...linux.html

Is that similar to what you are using ?
And more crucially, How do I get to the 9 Gi free mem. If I understand correctly I have 6 Gi from my guide ?
