Question:
Is your Raspberry Pi 4's root disk a microSD card?

That is how I run mine for Home Assistant, but I am concerned about flash's
durability.
Especially so when it is Linux and there are SystemD logs, syslog, MariaDB
and InfluxDB, ..etc.

SSDs (or better yet, NVMes) provide more durable "drives", but they are not
supported natively on the RPi.

What do others use in this case?
