Arch has zswap enabled by default, whereas Fedora/Debian don't. So currently, ParticleOS Arch images have both zswap and zram enabled concurrently which the Arch wiki says we shouldn't do.

So we should either disable zswap as per this PR, or alternatively remove zram-generator from default packages on the Arch profile (which might be simpler and closer to distro default ?)

CachyOS also uses zswap.enabled=0. I think indeed this is correct.

Also disabled on Fedora by default since it uses zram
