Should I set discard into my fstab?

Hello together,

some days ago I installed manjaro kde on my new laptop. All works fine, but I have one Question:

Should I put the discard - option into my fstab?

No. See Solid state drive/NVMe - ArchWiki

Enable the fstrim.timer and it will discard unused blocks once a week:

systemctl enable --now fstrim.timer
