There should be no conflicts between the two OS since you will be setting up different filesystems. For Gnu/Linux you should not use journal, I do use ext2/3/4 dependent on the partition scheme. For newer kernels that support 'TRIM' you can setup 'discard in '/etc/fstab';
Code:
/dev/sdax / ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 #where x= a,b,c,d...
or from cli you can set discard flag by;
Code:
tune2fs -o discard /dev/sdx #disable journal, where x= a,b,c,d...
NOTE: Make sure controller for 'SSD' is set to 'AHCI' mode in BIOS to insure the kernel can use 'TRIM'.
You should set the 'swapiness' via;
Code:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/swapiness'
Most Gnu/Linux set a high swapiness, Slackware is set to '60' default.
