It's all three! Cachy OS sets it up where it applies to both regular ram and vram. Even if just using a swap in ram, it will still be much faster than swapping to disk. Plus to the application, it looks like it has more ram/vram than there is physical ram/vram.
Yes but my previous OS had zram setup as well, unless PopOS was using a worse compression algorithm, zram was not the main player here. Also there is no such thing as zram for vram unless you are talking about hardware compression.
