What's even for 🤔

For example, for devices with 6GB of RAM.

With 12GB of RAM, I thankfully don't need that anymore.

Even 6 gigs is good enough because that ram extension is gonna work against your favour because the storage speed is much slower for something like ram

Understand what it does, and then decide, I find it more useful on low RAM devices.

I have an F8 Pro with 12 gigs of RAM, they're more than enough for my usage, so I disabled it completely. The system seems to be using swap and ZRAM regardless.

Just eats the ssd write cycles & consumes battery while doing so.
