Why would you want to?
The easiest way would be to remove the "zram-generator" package. I don't
know off-hand how to disable a generator.
I think the zram-generator.conf file provides two methods
(one is effectively the same as you've suggested ;).
$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf
# This config file enables a /dev/zram0 device with the default settings:
# — size — same as available RAM or 8GB, whichever is less
# — compression — most likely lzo-rle
#
# To disable, uninstall zram-generator-defaults or create empty
# /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf file.
[zram0]
zram-size = min(ram, 8192)
The other would be something like:
sudo sh -c '>/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf'
If the file doesn't already exist, `sudo touch ...` would be
even simpler, of course.
