Yes, there seem some misunderstanding. Normal users don't need anything. SSD works just as is, and it's fast enough.
If you are adventurous, you can go quest for the performance optimization with TRIM support. But normal people don't need it at this moment. So, arguing about the usability for normal users doesn't make sense for now.
Thanks for the reassurance. Everybody on the internet seems to be talking about TRIM etc when it comes to SSD, that's why it looks to be so important (even the openSUSE wiki focuses on TRIM). Without having the proper technical background in ATA, filesystem, and SSD technology, it's difficult to know who's right and who's wrong. Anyway, the SSD works fine for me at the moment and indeed a lot faster than a normal HDD. We are currently running some tests to see whether we could use SSD technology for our large Linux clusters where we need fast scratch disks on each cluster node.
