8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple
No, but should you want to enable it, you can install systemd-zram-generator.

As someone else mentioned, for many cases this will be a performance increase, not decrease. Compressing infrequently used memory frees up more memory to be used for filesystem caching among other things.

How does Swap memory work in fedora
To the file zram-generator.conf, if my memory don't fail this file is located at /usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf, but I can be wrong. You can find more information on the fedora zram options and the zram-generator.conf location here: https://github.com/systemd/zram-generator

Arch linux randomly freezes, especially when playing a youtube video or performing other video-related workload
as u/anoobis2 said, what about your swap? I suggest you to use ZRAM it's a boon for this kind of issues. I've found zram-generator very easy to use, (just remember to disable zswap).

Trying to run New World
I had this exact issue. The few times I made it to character select before a crash and tried to log in, crashes would crop up if I teleported to a town, or logged out in one and tried logging back in. My system was running out of RAM and the game would crash. I had to set up a zram swap file and that solves all my crashes. I used zram-generator for this.

Why is systemd-oomd still a thing
Personally I thought https://github.com/hakavlad/nohang worked pretty well, and it'll also notify the user if it's about to start killing things, but I haven't bothered to install it in fedora. I did tweak the systemd-oomd config to be less aggressive though.

Arch linux randomly freezes, especially when playing a youtube video or performing other video-related workload
SOLUTION: After struggling with this nightmarish unpredictable kernel panic for two weeks, I confirmed nohang is capable of stopping this problem for real.

Am I doing RAM wrong?
Thanks. Looking into this as well. Further digging in this sub over the past couple days have brought up earlyoom as well as https://github.com/hakavlad/nohang as interesting things to pursue.

Distro with best ram management on 8gb of memory?
Sounds like the complaints indicated on nohang's repo. I also have low memory. nohang and zram make mine work better than macs/wins with higher memory.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing zram-generator and nohang you can also consider the following projects:
zram-swap - A simple zram swap service for modern systemd Linux
earlyoom - earlyoom - Early OOM Daemon for Linux
