The majority of users these days will install NixOS on SSD/NVME based storage. Enabling fstrim ensures that the TRIM operation on this type of storage is run at least once a week. This will improve performance and life time of said devices. This also works in virtual machines as formats such as qcow2 or vmdk support TRIM. Ubuntu has a similar systemd timer also for quite a while enabled by default. Enabling this service will not increase the dependency closure as util-linux is already part of the base system. In case only filesystems that are not supported by fstrim are used, the overhead is negelible as fstrim run in less than a second once a week.

How often we run fstrim. For most desktop and server systems

a sufficient trimming frequency is once a week.

The format is described in
