Should I use zram?
Hello, I came across zram recently and I'd like to know if I should use it, my laptop only has ~4GB of ram, and for the most part it'll only stutter when I open multiple programs or a game, so would zram be adequate in my case?
Also, would the compressing and decompressing have a significant impact on my cpu?
steam is rendering strange
Xwayland was borked. Reinstalled all graphics drivers and mesa, Xwayland has fixed the issue, now all CEF windows render normally.

a few applications that use CEF to render applications have serious artifacting (main install of arch with sway), i dont believe this is a gpu issue as i installed arch with sway minimal config and the issue was resolved.
anyway i am hoping someone smarter than me could direct me on where to start with debugging this issue :)
