so im not sure if this is update related or storage related. somewhere online told me to check ‘page faults’ and theyre at 16998 MINFL and 114 MAJFL. i ran out of storage on my ssd so i clesred half of it by deleting timeshift snapshots (and disabled it). it’s still running like a slug. once an application is open, it’s fine. but beforehand? it takes 20 seconds to open vlc. loading a new .mp3 audio for vlc takes maybe 10 or so. it started before the update when i totallt ran our of stroage so i assume it’s that. im confused as to if it’s some process stealing resources.

    what command would you use to trim on linux mint, the drive isnt dying to my knowledge. i just ran smartctl and it says i have 0 unallocated nvm capacity?

      sudo systemctl start fstrim should do the trick.

      You can also try manually running sudo fstrim --all if the service doesn’t work for some reason. If that command doesn’t exist, you may need to apt install the fstrim command (I’m not sure what the right package is on Mint).

      Also check if you actually deleted the files (i.e. they’re not in a recycling bin somewhere). You can use df -h / for that.
