Does on mean that /sys/kernel/mm/lr_gen/enabled returns 0x7?

Just set vm.page-cluster to 0, to disable the page read-ahead (AFAIK the default value was set when swap was still on rotating disks).

Arch wiki has some good options for tuning the VM

Debian does not enable it by default, cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled will be a 0.

I am running Debian 12 on all of my devices with Debians vanilla kernel! :-) Just enable MGLRU on Debian like it is described in this blogpost.

One further tip for ZRAM: On my device the LZ4 algorithm was noticeable faster than ZSTD (didn’t try ZSTD with the enabled MGLRU, yet) and it was important to disable the RAM page read-ahead on my device.
