here are some infos:
Solid-state drive: File systems suitable for SSDs
They state that ext4 is a safe choice.
From Debian-wiki:
Use the ext4 filesytem (the most mature filesystem) unless you have reason not to.

F2FS but do not have the bootloader that manage this filesystem, so ext4 for now it is the better choice

Ext2 is dangerous doesn't have journaling.
In case of improper shutdown can lead to serious errors.

I take your word.

Personnaly I keep my important data out of the computer on an external hdd or on a big usb key.

In the last two years, though I had to close my computer because of porteus freezing many times, there seemed to be no problem. After two years, I had never some problem to reboot. In the worst cases my changes folder became corrupted.

It seems I am lucky.
