Why don't more distros use ZRAM and EarlyOOM by default.
by TheJooomes from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KG79)
I first discovered this stuff when using Fedora. I'm now daily driving Debian and have ZRAM and EarlyOOM setup. It runs so well, I don't understand why most distros just use a traditional SWAP partition and no EarlyOOM. ZRAM is extremely fast because it's compressing data onto the RAM instead of putting it on the storage drive. And EarlyOOM can be a life saver for a misbehaving app to prevent it from locking up the system. I've had only positive experiences. Why don't more user friendly distros have these setup OOTB?
