ZRAM on the other hand, is a part of your memory that you are compressing and allocating as swap. A kernel that supports it is necessary.

And that's it. You now have a bit of extra memory to work with. So you can have like 2GB of VRAM, and the 6GB of remaining memory allocated as RAM become more like 6.5 or 7. On top of that, add that Linux is more memory efficient than Windows, and it's like having 8GB of RAM! Pretty sweet huh?

Oh, and don't worry if you see that your installation is using a lot of memory. It's normal and is meant to happen in order to improve performance. Check this [link](https://linuxatemyram.com) to learn more.
