How to change the compressor for zram swap?

[amethyst]

Firstly, how do I know which compression is being used and secondly, how do I change the compression to gzip?

You do not say which OS you are using.

In JammyPup64 you need to install

zram-config

via the PPM

Here I have changed the algorithm to zstd

To test to see if the changes have been made in terminal after you have 'saved & rebooted'

zramctl

The changes do not stick

I would be interested in finding out on how to do this correctly.

Changing the algorithm to zstd and reducing the size to 512mb

I do not see any option to change it to Gzip using this application.

Cannot seem to reset it either before making any changes

Compiled the binary if anyone wants to try.

Extract and place in

/usr/bin

Current setup
