Now you tell me . . .
In February, I transferred an existing Debian 11 setup to a new 64-bit
x86 computer with an nvme ssd. I have a 1 Gb swap partition.
What do to avoid wearing the ssd out?
Very important these days, since you can't just open up a computer and
swap out the ssd. Now, a worn out ssd, or any other part really, means
a whole new computer. So much for reducing waste . . .
