Enable zram on low memory devices

Post by /RaspberryPi »


I've been getting a lo of "out of memory" errors on my 1GB ram rpi3 (can't really afford any better) but last week I discovered zram which basically enables memory compression.

Since I enable zram my application hasn't crashed and it's running smoothly. Just wanted to put this out there so other people that don't know about this can also get the benefits.
