fstrim going through way too much of the disk every time it runs on boot
Good catch. You really, really should change that behavior. It's not healthy for your SSD. Do it manually or even better, use continuous TRIM setting the discard flag on your fstab like this.

What are some of your self made scripts that you're proud of
Anbox script bound to META + A keys. I don't need to open some third-party software, like Waydroid's case, so I start it directly using a Systemd service unit configuration file. Besides that unit file, I made a simple script that opens Anbox and closes it if I run the script again. Script. anbox.service file.

Backup Software for BTRFS
BTRBK on the other hand, it's super flexible and holds lots of possibilities. You can, for example, automatically copy the snapshots to another storage device. You can do that even though SSH if you're into that. Here you can find how I set it up on my environment for my ROOT and HOME subvolumes.

Nix Home Manager Option Search
Many command line programs keep their configurations somewhere under $HOME. These are often called "dotfiles".
If you ever use more than one machine, likely you'll want the same configuration available on all those machines.. so you'll want some way to copy them to a new machine.
Some dotfile managers are quite simple, like dotbot. https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot
Home Manager from the Nix community is a bit more sophisticated. It allows for writing configurations in the Nix language, which is nice if you know/like Nix. (Nix is a powerful/expressive package manager. Nix is to apt-get what vim is to notepad).

Dotfiles Management
Dotbot (https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) has worked extremely well for me. It’s simple to setup, has minimal dependencies, and it is also easy to run arbitrary commands if I want to get tricky with things. I would highly recommend it.

What's your vertical / horizontal split keys?
| for vertical split, - for horizontal split: easy to remember. I have lots of things in my config file, so I don't have an issue with a bit more customization. Installing my .tmux.conf is easy because I use the dotbot dotfile manager.

Anyone else using git submodules to manage your plugins?
I use dotbot to manage my dotfiles, which is good for anything I need to install prior to installing plugins (I use vim-plug).
