file system reommendations for SSD...

[Marcelo Cavalcante]

Welcome to Arch Linux!

I would stay with ext4, but I really would prefer to have different
partitions (/boot, /home, /, ..).

It will improve your system and it will be easier for future
troubleshooting, etc...

You'll only need a big partition for /home. Just pick a litle space for the
others. My / is using only 8Gb of 10gb. And this is a four years old
installation.  You'll just need to remember that from times to times you'll
need to clean your cache with "pacman -Sc", and you'll be fine.

Best,
