Browser cache can't be realistically avoided without severely inconveniencing the user - me.
I have still purchased more RAM so I could dial down the swappiness kernel parameter for Linux and move swap to other disk. With my usage, and more RAM, the swap partition is hardly ever used anyway.
I have also set noatime parameter in /etc/fstab and that makes the biggest impact IMHO. Normally Linux sets a time stamp every time a file is accessed, even read-only. That information is almost never used on a home desktop.
So, you see I am not losing sleep for the wear of my SSD. Not anymore, anyway
, now that I have 3 years of use and I can check Total Bytes Written now and then.
