Um, I did not know I set up zram? How did that happen. Is zram now part of the basic Fedora install?
It has been a while my using zram. How do I disable it for now? With 16GB real memory and 16GB real swap partition, I want to see how things are working...
thanks

Immediately: sudo systemctl stop swap-create@zram0
Permanently: sudo touch /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf or sudo dnf remove zram-generator-defaults
Asking the interesting question: Why would you want to ever do this? RAM is ~10x faster than SSD and 100x faster than spinning disk. Unless your system is so ancient and CPU-constrained that you are unable to afford the relatively low compression costs, making use of all available RAM at all times seems like a better move than stopping ZRAM swap.
