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.

    How can I trust them? At least with Arch there’s the “many eyes” principle.

      It’s the same principle. Both CachyOS and ALHP are reasonably popular, and all their stuff is open for anyone to review - Cachy’s stuff is all on Github and ALHP is on SomeGit.

        never heard of them. I need to research a bit more until I activate what is basically another “dangerous” non-maintainer repository. Thank you a lot for your links and explanations!
