Yes. But have you enabled zram yet for swap?
This is a clean install, so it's enabled by default and has reserved 4GB. I think that's what's actually causing the OOMs. I have 16GB of RAM. On F32 I could run an 8GB VM with hugepages, i.e. dedicated memory, plus normal stuff including multiple browser tabs etc. and never had a problem. Now as soon as I try to start the VM it gets OOM errors, and multiple Firefox tabs are failing and have to be restarted.
Check what's using the memory. zram doesn't *reserve* memory. It doesn't use any memory until you start swapping out. Try increasing the zram size. I would suggest at least 12GB. On my 12GB laptop, I have it set to 12GB.
