I'm actually quite happy with Ubuntu and Unity. There are some annoying bugs and I've switched to KDE recently but Unity is overall fine in my opinion. I'd always take Unity over Gnome. But well let's not start this discussion. To each his own.. I just don't like all the Canonical addons I don't use. So I remove them. Regarding swap compression: I'm happy with zcache¹. zramswap is out of date and buggy for me (I'm not exactly sure here). There is also zswap². I'm running Linux 3.11 To enable zcache edit /etc/default/grub and add zcache to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT To enable zswap add zswap.enable=1 Both can't be running at the same time. 1: http://lwn.net/Articles/397574/ http://lwn.net/Articles/397574/ 2: http://lwn.net/Articles/528817/ http://lwn.net/Articles/528817/
