I am confused about whether I should use TRIM or DISCARD on my laptop.

I use LVM on top of LUKS and I do make frequent use of snapshots. Merging them 
to my root volume.

I have a regular HDD and not a SSD.

Will enabling TRIM and DISCARD help me?

No, it won't.

If so, how do I do that ? I have already tried enabling:

            issue_discards=1

in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and then dracut -f

But fstrim -v / still fails with :

                  fstrim: /: the discard operation is not supported

So how do I enable it in Fedora32 ?

There's nothing to enable.  As it says, your LV and hard drive don't support 
discard.

However, I believe that it is useful for thin LVs, so after you've done the 
conversion, it's something you could try.

Do you think that last statement may be a bit confusing if he only has a HDD?
