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.
