Saw your note about ramdisks and it reminded me that I wanted to ask about 
this:

/dev/zram0     partition    8G 1.4G  100
/dev/nvme0n1p6 partition 29.3G   0B   10

Using zramfs is new to me, I've been using it for about a month. I have 14GB 
Ram. Do you think this set up should be adequate? The most RAM intensive I do 
is compiling and once in a while, a game of 0ad or MegaGlest, and I use 
Firefox for a browser.
