Well, as your file says, this is supposed to be a kernel module. On my system, I have this: unicorn:~$ locate z3fold /lib/modules/5.10.0-10-amd64/kernel/mm/z3fold.ko /lib/modules/5.10.0-11-amd64/kernel/mm/z3fold.ko However, you're running an oldstable (buster, Debian 10) kernel. I don't know whether buster's kernels have this module. The dangers of following a guide that's written for a *different* operating system (Mint in this case) is that some or all of it might not apply to *your* operating system. This is especially true when you're not on the current stable release of your operating system.
