Update on Debian with Lenovo X1 Carbon

On my previous post, I noted that the X11 trackpad customisations. Since then I have implemented the SSD optimisation recommendations as recommended here. I'll give a summary below, where detailed notes on my configuration are here.
Firstly are /etc/fstab options to reduce writes:

# /dev/sda1

UUID=??? / ext4 discard,noatime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1

# /dev/sda5 (swap)

UUID=??? swap swap sw,discard 0 0

Next, reduce swappiness. Add to /etc/sysctl.conf

# optimise for SSD

vm.swappiness = 0

Finally, use the deadline scheduler. In /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ssd-scheduler.rules

# Only sda is SSD, see https://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization

# set deadline scheduler for non-rotating disks

ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="0", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="deadline"

In my case I need only do this on the sda device.

Please read my document on this as it provides extra information and links.
