Can you do all this on Linux? Yes. Will it ever be set up correctly? Depends where you work, but based on my experience so far, not likely.
Edit: To be extra clear. When I was researching this, I ended up going with zram only because:
* It is the default for Fedora.
* zramctl gives me live statistics of used and compressed size.
* The zswap doc didn't help my confusion on how backing devices work (I guess they're any swapon'd device?)
Another example: it takes ~2 seconds to run git on my work machine
(Measure-Command { git status | Out-Null }).TotalSeconds
while running the same command on my personal Windows 11 virtual machine is near instant: ~0.1 seconds.
Still slower than Linux, but not nearly as bad as my work machine.[1] https://crt.sh/
