Use CachyOS-style ZRAM on Ubuntu?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Try it. I have configured ZRAM on Linux Mint and Debian, works like a charm.
If I may ask: why are you thinking of only committing 1 or 2GB to ZRAM? This way your net RAM capacity increase will only be a few hundred megs. I recommend to allocate 25% to 60% of your RAM to it.
To set it up, I have used an LLM for instructions, so don't listen to me for derails. I recommend prompting/searching for instructions youryelf if others aren't aplble to point you to a guide.
Mentioning LLMs is a great way to derail threads on lemmy.
Yes, and I'm glad it didn't happen this time. Lemmy would be a better place without those derailments (whether you're a net proponent or net opponent of LLMs).
