Does a fresh install of Ubuntu on an SSD need tweaking (to enable TRIM, etc.)?

I've heard that Ubuntu needs some tweaking for optimal performance when migrating an existing install to an SSD.

However, I have made a fresh install after switching to the SSD, so perhaps the installer has detected that it's an SSD and put the best defaults?

Or does it still need tweaking?

Yes, it still needs tweaking. (This is likely to change in 14.04) The only thing what the installer cares about is proper partition alignment, I think. Please read this. – falconer Dec 19 '13 at 18:38
Yes and do not use the discard method but fstrim (the discard method is slow). – Rinzwind Dec 19 '13 at 18:48
