Why are there so many 1-star ratings for SSDs that the owner ran under Linux?
Are those reviews fake or are there really some SSDs that tend shit the bed early under Linux?
SSD problematic under Linux?

Linux users in general aren't smart enough to write proper drivers for things like TRIM, and choose instead to demean the drive manufacturers
Caleb Stewart
Trim support is actually built into kernel so there is no need for any drivers. Not that Cred Forumsedditor like you would know that.
Camden Howard
The Linux kernel has aggressive memory management settings that completely rape SSDs.
Dominic Collins
This.
Cooper Baker
I have a samsung SSD I bought 3 years ago in my laptop running ubuntu/linux mint. Never had issues.
Eli King
Huh, I've been running Linux on a tiny SSD for awhile now and I've noticed no issues
Carter Hughes
Holy fuck... Tell me this is a meme, please!

>The Linux kernel has aggressive memory management settings
wat.
wasn't this windows with its swapping shenanigans?
Elijah Wright
I don't know OP, my first SSD has clocked 20k hours and still has 0 reallocations
Andrew Sanchez
Linux users are accustomed to a higher standard of quality.
Anthony Price
This can happen if you use a swap partition. Linux is pretty aggressive with unloading stuff from RAM into swap.
Zachary Clark
I've an 850 EVO that I primarily run Windon't 10 on.
I'll be fine, right? Or are there issues/bugs/problems with Samshit SSDs and Linux? Planning on giving Manjaro a partition my SSD for a dual boot install

Windows creates a swap file on the fly if needed (slower)
Thomas Baker
because on windows they tell you that it's not recommended to have any other Windows necessary stuff on SSD like boot and what not.
Blake Ross
My point is with a modern system you don't need a swap partition.
Tyler Gonzalez
who puts a swap file on their SSD
Grayson Reyes
Any custom settings for SSD usage or standard Linux installation?
Brody Torres
people who also defrag their SSDs
Luke Parker
You can use a swap file as well on linux.
It's only needed for suspend to disk on modern*.
The old rule of thumb was as much swap as ram, but I've also read that now 4G should be enough for that even if you have more ram than that.
Matthew Howard
yeah. I would consider not even having /var or /tmp on an ssd, if you had another option.
Jeremiah Peterson
SSDs in general are shit tier, trust me. It's hard to find a good and reliable SSD as of now
Benjamin Ross
There's an article about this on the install gentoo wiki.
Luis Martin
I've been running with no swap for years now and haven't noticed any issues. With the amount of RAM available in a modern system, swap isn't really required anymore.
Liam Bailey
I have an ssd and i've been runing arch without any kind of problem.
This claims are false, please at least read a bit before spreading FUD, i don't get in what way you're benefited by trying to deter people from using linux.

THIS
Jacob Smith
This. Linux users are much more likely to stress their SSD than windows users.
Charles Nguyen
Standard installation
I don't have /tmp on SSD though, but mostly for speed
I can't really vouch for that but I do believe that SSDs evolved past "don't write anything on it or it'll die in a year!!11" FUD
