 zram-size=

Sets the size of the zram device as a function of MemTotal, available as
the ram variable.


Arithmetic operators (^%/*-+), e, π, SI suffixes, log(), int(), ceil(),
floor(), round(), abs(), min(), max(), and trigonometric functions are
supported.


Defaults to min(ram / 2, 4096)



Do you have >32G in your machine, how much. Maybe set the value a bit lower
or define it as a fraction
