In the case of a potential reinstall, starting over with a clean /home is often an advantage, as you don’t carry with you potential problems, like mis-configurations and such, from the previous install.

If you use it as swap device, the RAM can hold much more information but uses more CPU. Still, it is much quicker than swapping to a hard drive. If a system often falls back to swap, this could improve responsiveness. Using zram is also a good way to reduce disk read/write cycles due to swap on SSDs. From my personal experience, it is one of the best things I have discovered using linux, the differe… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/how-can-i-do-more-reasonable-detailed-partitioning/37078)._
