I've got a Fedora 38 install (upgrade from F37). The install happened with Anaconda. Anaconda created the compressed memory swap file. I resized the disk and added a proper swap partition.

My Google-fu really sucks today. I cannot find a discussion of it.
How do I modify fstab to remove the compressed memory swap file?
Why would you want to?
The compiler is crashing in cc1plus. I'm out-of-memory on a machine with 16GB of RAM. Effectively I'm DoS'd with the btrfs default strategy. Time to do something different... like get rid of that compressed swap file in RAM, use a real swap file, and use memory for programs.
The easiest way would be to remove the "zram-generator" package. I don't know off-hand how to disable a generator.
Thanks.
