From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If the system you have has enough RAM you could load the entire OS to RAM and then change the writeback settings to a high interval
Still going to bottleneck and then eventually die
dunno, the system might ran out of RAM due to lack of swap, but the drive should be fine due to the limited writes
Well no because the cache will fill up faster than writes that are happening. You would be postponing the inevitable.
The only option is to either reduce the number if writes by using MX Linux on the USB or to get something that can handle the writes like a USB NVMe enclosure
ah good point
