First time accepted submitter Maurits van der Schee writes "Where in older versions you had to add a cron job calling "fstrim" or mounting with the "discard" option in fstab, the new LTS (Long Term Stable) version of Ubuntu Linux will automatically enable TRIM for your SSD. Good news for hardware enthusiasts!"

    Me and misses did the monthly LTS trim of our immediate bush gardens. Performance hasnt really improved, and, stability cums and goes. This is a known issues when running a bloated OS like Ubuntu on critical hardware systems.

    We recently made a switch to a pure Debian based bush garden, the performance is superb. Too bad its over within a second or two.

    Get in there! Pre Xmas drink banter!
