Hey Testers,
Monday, 2020-07-06 will be SwapOnZRAM Test Day[0]!
This Test Day will focus on SwapOnZRAM[1]. Swap partition is useful,
except when it's slow. Zram is a RAM drive that uses compression.
Create a swap-on-zram during start-up. And no longer use swap
partitions by default.
The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev/zram<id>
(<id> = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored
in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides
good amounts of memory savings.
It's also pretty easy to join in and contribute, you can submit your
test day results here[2]
As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC.

Hmm... it mentions that Fedora 31 would be ok for the tests, but
the zram-generator package is not available on Fedora 31:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/31/Everything/x86_6...
Assuming that CONFIG_ZRAM is enabled on Fedora 31, you should either
backport zram-generator packages to Fedora 31 or update the test day
page accordingly.
Thanks,
Mauro
