Do I need custom configuration to use Ubuntu 16.04 with a SSD on my computer, to prevent several writes on the disk?
Yes, please. What are some things I can do to minimize the writes to the disk?
One thing you can do is enable TRIM support, which tells the SSD which blocks of data are no longer in use and can be erased. You can also disable swap or move it to a different drive, since swap can generate a lot of write activity. Additionally, you can disable access times for files, which prevents the system from updating the last access timestamps for files every time they are read. Would you like me to explain how to do those things?
