Now running minimal vanilla on my 4B for . Unfortunately I tried but failed to boot with root mounted to . After the third attempt's kernel panic due to "no working init found", I gave up. I now at least have swap disabled on and Pi-hole logs disabled. Any other tips for SD longevity?

@syntax I mean minimal OSes (Arch Linux ARM, for example) can certainly help SD longevity but really I think you're just sort of minimally prolonging the inevitable. Just be sure to make regular backups to an external storage device and you'll be all good.

@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat I agree. I've done all I can for now / all I have the patience for (disabled logging, swap etc.). Other than that I'll just keep an eye on performance, clone the SD every month or so.
