I think some of this is being done automatically. Recently I installed an SSD into my mother's laptop. When I went to follow the "Enabling TRIM for your SSD" part of the Help Manual, it seemed like some gremlins beat me to it. The noatime part was already done. And if I recall correctly, I only had to edit the /etc/rc.local file and move the cron.weekly job. The edited rc.local file covered every partition I had set for the drive, so this seems like something that Lite Tweaks could do for a drive running only Linux Lite, but it could become dicey for drives with a multi-boot setup. But then, what do I know?
For the record, I'm still learning. It seems if one does nothing, fstrim will run on a weekly basis. And the Help Manual appears to instruct us to have it run at startup instead, while creating a log file listing what was trimmed for each partition.
