Might be late to the party, but I just discovered you can do this. Super simple and easy to do.

After having a read of the linked page, I backed up and just used this option:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon

Installed, created config, and enabled service:

systemctl --user enable psd.service systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service

I definitely notice an increase in speed and less SSD usage should hopefully increase lifespan.

I’m sure there would be options for alternative distros, anything using Systemd should be able to use the daemon.

    Yeah, messing around with this stuff is how you break firefox. SSDs are plenty fast and durable, and that’s not even mentioning how the Linux page cache means that you’re already technically running in ram anyways. This program will just break things.
