Additional information
zram doesn't work with the default zstd compression algorithm. Although I can enable it if I set lz4 for example:
markw:~$ sudo zramctl /dev/zram0 --algorithm zstd --size 1000MiB
zramctl: /dev/zram0: failed to set algorithm: Invalid argument
markw:~$ sudo zramctl /dev/zram0 --algorithm lz4 --size 1000MiB
markw:~$
