I assume I should get rid of most of the swap. I also read somewhere to increase… swappiness of zram?

    Should I lower swap? How do I change the swappiness?

      There’s some instructions here but basically:

      1. sudo apt install zram-config

      2. append to end of /etc/sysctl.conf:

        vm.swappiness = 180
        # disable swap readahead (since using zram swap)
        vm.page-cluster = 0 
        

        Can check these have been applied with cat /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster or .../swappiness

        Would these settings be the same if I used the same amount of swap?

      Have a look at this for info on swappiness. As for your swap, if it’s not causing you problems, it can’t hurt to have it.
