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.

The idea is for that, yes. I suppose buying up a bunch of low (4gb and lower) capacity cards off aliexpress won't be too expensive, and would be ideal for the smaller games like Celeste or stuff from 2008 and earlier
Those really low capacity cards have DIRE read speeds though. I wouldn't want to cheap out too much on them.
We have one SD card at work that seemingly works fine, but has read speeds of like single digit Mbps. It's plenty for the arcade machine it runs with no more than 10mb roms at the max. But oof is it bad.
I have a 2GB card whose write access latency is over a second. No matter the file size. Reading is a lot better. Either way, since the ROM just gets loaded into RAM upon insertion, it doesn't matter.
