Out-of-the-Box, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS To Support TRIM On SSDs 133

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!"

    But surely this defeats the perceived satisfaction of tweaking and fixing it all up manually? Where's the fun in that?

    HOLY FUCK, MAN! JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!

    This is Slashdot, for crying out loud. How DARE you bring facts and correct information to the discussion here! THAT IS NOT ALLOWED! You just can't do that! FUCK!

    He can't be wrong though, he's already marked at Score 4: Insightful at the time of this post. And since Slashdotters are so smart and intelligent the score must be correct, right?

    I dunno. Problem is it's hard to know who's right and who's not. All I know is that Windows 7 had TRIM support automatically enabled for SSDs back in 2009 and the leading Linux distro's only finally going to enable it in 2014. No wonder so many people still see Linux as old and not suitable for end-user machines.

    I've been choosing btrfs through the debian installer for at least a couple of years now.

    Dude you so have to try ZFS. It's aweso--

    Yes, I know it's not as awesome as ZFS, but it still beats mdraid and lvm.

    Oh--sorry. Got ahead of myself there. Good thing you stopped me in time.
