And macOS doesn't support Linux-style compressed RAM either, at least as far as I know. [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.ht

  One search away and you can prove yourself wrong. In fact they have had it since 10.9.

    Cool. I stopped using it in 10.6. Glad macOS has caught up.

      Caught up with the 1990s when RAM and disk compression were popular on Macs and PCs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stac_Electronics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stac_Electronics Interestingly enough Stac was apparently co-founded by Nvidia/Stanford's Bill Dally. The story of them being "sherlocked" by MS-DOS 6.0 and successfully suing Microsoft is interesting as well.

        That was before the current NS-based OS and so doesn't count

  It does compress RAM, although I’m not sure if you mean something different here. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/os-x-10-9/17/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/os-x-10-9/17/
