What's the best filesystem for SSD in Linux?

Filesystem EXT4 + TRIM:
- EXT4 with TRIM improves performance by reducing unnecessary write cycles to the SSD drive as they limited write-rewrite cycles.
- Ubuntu and some other Linux flavors support EXT 4 with TRIM out of the box.
SWAP Partition:
- Make sure you do not have a SWAP space on the SSD, again to reduce the write cycles.
- If you have a mechanical drive, then you should create a SWAP space on the mechanical drive, and avoid having it on the SSD.
Partition Alignment:
- The partition should start on a clean 1MB boundary so that block size of the Filesystem aligns with the block size of the SSD.
So use EXT4 + TRIM with a SWAP on a mechanical hard drive or no SWAP on SSD.

BTRFS on a GPT partition table

Seems about right

F2FS

Don't enable TRIM if you're doing FDE.
>>51283356
BTRFS with Trim enabled

Just deleted my swap partition, Thanks dude.

That's so fucking retarded it hurts to read it.

Does ReiserFS still have any advantages over ext4?

Can someone explain (to a retard) why
>you should create a SWAP space on the mechanical drive
is retarded?

I agree, why is this a problem?
I have swsp on my ssd. What's the problem with that? Honestly on any current pc that isn't 15 years old, you'll never even use the swap partition 99% if the time. The swap is there only if you're running out of ram. I mean shit if you were actually utilizing swap, wouldn't you want it to write and read to a much faster ssd as opposed to a regular hdd?
Have probably had swap on various linux machine ssds for a while now with no issue or drive degradation at all.

Because SSDs have limited writes and a swap partition has potential to burn through them. It's just a stupid idea.
>>51287232
It's much slower in a situation where speed is important.
The only reason this shit started was because early SSDs had few maximum writes per cell, and the constant writes of a swap file could bring the SSD to its write limit significantly sooner than otherwise.
Nowadays SSD write limits are so high that they almost universally fail from other means way before getting close to their limit, so there's no reason to slow down your computer to account for a problem that doesn't exist anymore.
