It is satire, but we wish it wasn't and are reacting as such.

I believe this one is called the 'Tom Scott'

If you're at the level of having a personal setup script, you should be able to solve just about any problem on Arch without reinstalling.

Source: Been doing it for 10 years now, not a single reinstall.

Disable "(improve) location accuracy" in settings and location history in Google settings (I think)

That's definitely not true, Raspberry Pi OS works and acts like a normal Debian installation per default - with root mounted rw and all.

Other than that, there isn't much "treating like an HDD/SSD" going on, it just writes to flash when an application requests it does. If the underlying storage is an eeprom, an sdcard nvme storage doesn't really change anything here.

Most SD cards aren't really suitable for the kind of workload an operating system generates (that being mostly random i/o). Make sure to get a reputable A2 (application class 2) rated card, they aren't that expensive but perform way better.

Raspberry Pi themselves launched a card recently, I haven't tried that one but it's probably a good choice too.

As long as it's still yellow there shouldn't be much uv

This wasn't about arm in a high end laptop though, this is about underpowered cores in an soc probably meant for sbc applications barely managing out of order execution shoved into a laptop form factor.

I'm not against riscv on principle, in fact I quite like it. But let's not pretend it's performance is there yet for laptop-class devices.
