On Linux there is zram which creates a first-priority swap partition that just compresses the pages and keeps them in memory. It looks like Windows also has me

It looks like Windows also has memory compression.
I believe that OS X has memory compression turned on by default.
- iforgotpassword 4y agoZram is actually a general purpose block device, you can format it with ext4 and have a compressed RAM disk. There is also zswap, which is a transparent compressed RAM cache in front of your cache partition. Most distros have it enabled by default, so make sure you don't use it together with swap in zram.
