Compressed RAM as a swap is faster than disk. This makes most machines
more interactive when under low memory pressure, and, combined with no
disk-backed swap, reduces wear and tear on "flash" storage with limited
number of writes.

I think this should actually be done via the fedora-release presets. Among other things, that means it will apply to Silverblue as well.

Great, just what I needed.

I reverted this since it sounds like it's going to be done another way and this PR was broken anyhow.

Out of curiosity, how was it broken?

The call was inside the %packages ... %end block:

+services --enabled=zram-swap
+
 %end

so, anaconda tried to install a package called 'services --enabled=zram-swap' and obviously failed. ;)

Ha, indeed. Sorry about that...
