zramctl: Enable zram with a dynamic number of devices (use `zramctl` to configure devices further).
$ sudo modprobe zram
try on your machine
The command "sudo modprobe zram" is used to load the zram module in Linux systems.
Zram (also known as "compressed RAM") is a Linux kernel module that provides a compressed block device in RAM. It uses compression algorithms to compress data stored in memory, which allows the system to effectively use less RAM for a given set of data.
By running "sudo modprobe zram," you are instructing the system to load the zram module, making it available for use. Once loaded, you can configure and use zram devices to allocate and manage compressed RAM resources, which can be particularly beneficial for systems with limited physical memory or for optimizing memory usage in various scenarios.
