Main advantage of sodium batteries: no volatile components.
I’m willing to take a capacity hit if the battery can survive a hit or puncture without exploding.
Yesterday I spent time cleaning junk drawers to find an expanded & bloated lithium ion battery pack that was still holding a charge. Went straight into a fireproof battery bag.
Can’t wait til that’s a thing of the past.
Also, sodium is far more sustainable plus abundant compared to lithium.

I use default Debian settings for zram myself, simple setup.
Never experienced slowdowns, got my Raspi4 using it + utilizing a tmpfs.
Got a luanti server with the world sqlite data base living on the tmpfs which is very snappy & utilize a mildly complex script that utilizes rsync to copy from ssd to tmpfs at start & only the changes back to the ssd at shutdown.
Now when you want to do larger tasks that require gobs of space or you’re using nvmes, Ive read that zswap is better.
