Good to know, in that I'm running an AMD chipset on the machine in question. Does this extent to other makers, or is it just a Samsung thing, do you know? Wonder if the problem has gotten fixed in later kernels; the report is from 2018.
Another question: I'm running ext4 exclusively here, but I wonder: is there a particular advantage in one filesystem over another on an SSD?
Not sure whether one is better than the other. I stick with ext4 since it's well-tested, unless your partition is larger than 16 TB (not sure whether this limit has been removed though). For /boot I still stick with ext2 since journaling is not really needed there (one thing less in the way).
