Ubuntu OS is very popular among Raspberry Pi users, but the system is demanding on the amount of RAM. The new build 22.04 will solve this problem, and owners of low-powered single-board computers will be able to take advantage of it.
In the past, Ubuntu required computers with at least 4 GB of RAM to run. Version 22.04 will now allow you to lower the bar to 2 GB. This result was achieved thanks to the addition of the zswap module, which is responsible for compressing information on the fly instead of permanently operating the swap file.
These changes will increase the performance of the OS, which will be especially pronounced when using SD storage as the main logical drive. In addition, the highly efficient lz4 compression algorithm will be used in the work. The release of a new Ubuntu build that supports all current Raspberry Pi builds is scheduled for next April.
