The article states that these drives are designed to speed up in-memory processing, but that doesn't make any sense, since they're slower than DRAM. Instead these are marketed as a way to increase logical memory capacity for systems already at max DRAM capacity, or for cheaper than DRAM at the cost of performance.
Your inability to learn how to use an operating system that requires more than two mouse buttons to function is a demonstration of your lack if capacity rather than a problem with Linux.
Slower than DRAM but faster than swapping to normal storage devices. It represents itself as memory and the hardware does the swapping instead of the OS. Think of it as a hardware accelerated page file.

They also only seem to support some "lunix" shit, so that makes it immediately useless for any real work.release same shit with support for server 2019 and get back to me.

that makes sense.
