> A Linux system like the Pi on the other hand, is writing permanent its log files and swap partition or to the SD-card

...only if you don't know how to configured an embedded Linux.

Even then... I mostly stopped using SD on these things when I had a (other-fruit)-Pi device that would on rare ocassion (3x in under a year) just nuke the SD card's data when power was cycled... I was using it for a mini emulation box (atari, nes, etc) and just irked me to no end. Since then, SSD over USB, far more reliable, properly configured or not.
