Does Epoch configure ZSWAP by default?

I had a few problems with my Solus Plasma Wayland laptop after the week 45 updates and did not have time for faultfinding so just wiped, reinstalled and updated.
I watched the Epoch update enable (well done team) and then continued to update via discover.
After getting everything up to date and rebooting I ran a bash script that installs all my favourite programs and reconfigures a few things. One of the things my script does is disable ZRAM and enables ZSWAP.
echo "ZSWAP FOR SYSTEMS WITH LESS THAN 16GB RAM." sudo eopkg it zram-generator-defaults sudo touch /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf sudo mkdir -p /etc/kernel/cmdline.d echo "zswap.enabled=1" | sudo tee /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/20_zswap.conf sudo clr-boot-manager update
This part of the script normally requires me to enter my admin password about six times but today it just ran through without a murmur.
Running dmesg | grep zswap after a reboot confirmed that ZSWAP was enabled.
Running dmesg | grep zram confirmed that ZRAM was disabled.
So has the requirement for setting this up just become less onerous or was it enabled already as a new Epoch feature? If it is now a standard feature I will remove the appropriate section from my script.
Thanks

It's possible that the commands needing sudo ran in quick enough succession. Given that I don't know the code of your bash script, the best way to find out why things aren't happening asy you expect is to run the commands in it manually in a test VM with a fresh install to find out what it's doing.

@ReillyBrogan can answer if we now enable ZSWAP by default, but I am not aware of such a change, personally.

TraceyC Thank you for your reply. For the moment I will keep the entry for ZSWAP entablement in my script. It all seems to implement it satisfactorily. I will remember to check what the default is when the Epoch iso is released.
So far very impressed with the way Solus is evolving on Plasma. Everything seems very smooth and responsive. Excellent work.

Could you please provide information on why you prefer zswap? I have a swap partition and zram usually is quick enough for me.

Thank you.
