Yep, that's a nice command!

On my Debian system there's a "util-linux" package which contains the fstrim utility as well as a systemd timer (fstrim.timer), which one can enable make it run weekly.

I was also amazed at how much space is "freed". I guess temporary logs and stuff contribute a lot to this...
