  • It can often improve performance and memory latency and usually only has a minor CPU performance impact as it trades cycles waiting for memory for cycles decompressing memory. It is usually decent even on low power embedded devices.

    There are a few edge cases where ZRam is not great. If your data is already compressed or encrypted copying it around in memory is much more expensive. It’s also harder to tell exactly how much data can be loaded into the “free” memory. It’s also a bit slower for serialized memory access in large data sets if the compression ratio is low.










  • The biggest issue is that your corners are lifting from the bed during the print. Fixing this is usually a combination of making sure the bed is clean and adding a brim to increase adhesion. Maybe messing with temperature and cooling fan settings for the first few layers.

    Second is things look a bit over extruded. This could just be due to the corner issue though so fix that before any other changes.

    Your experience may depend on which distro you use and how you install things. If you use a distro with a stable upgrade path such as Debian and stick to system packages there should be almost no issues with upgrades. If you use external installers or install from source you may experience issues depending on how the installer works.

    For anything complex these days I’d recommend going with containers that way the application and the OS can be upgraded independently. It also makes producing a working copy of your production system for testing a trivial task.
