It’s a root fs for an ARM device. I can’t simply copy the files over.
It’s not an active partition/disk I want to clone. Clonezilla seems like something I need to boot into?
“your description”? Where, which?
It reduces waste, yes.
Just know this isn’t a universal layout and depends on the distro.
Performance depends on the mod. I have a server in my house that has a Minecraft and Minetest server installed so we can play locally. The Minetest server is extremely laggy. Rubberbanding all the time. But we play it more than Minecraft.
Does it break with normal use or are you a tinkerer?
They prefer RISC-0, and MONEY-5
There are definitely Rpi “card form factor” x86_64 SBCs. UP Board for example is one of those.
I have been using Odroid boards for many years. I currently have 3 C4 boards and 1 older C1 board. My kids use them as their computer in their rooms. Hardkernel is the company behind the boards, they also provided the official Home assistant blue devices that came pre installed with HASS.
You probably think of yourself as pretty knowledgeable regarding Windows, but have you ever studied for a Microsoft certification exam? This in depth knowledge is not something the average user needs for his daily usage, but can be interesting to read/know.

I don’t really have a problem with “selling” Linux. You gotta take all things with a dose of skepticism.
Has anyone ever recommended a product of any complexity as an OS and then also listed all of the common issues people might encounter? When people talk about a product they like, of course it will highlight the positive things, but anyone who has ever touched a computer, hobbyist or not, knows these things might sometimes shit the bed in unexpected ways. I think that’s common sense.
Windows is said to have less problems, but the cryptic errors and non descriptive “wait while we do something” message without any other output actually makes solving problems harder. It has more users, so luckily that means someone out there probably has the issue documented so solutions are easier to find.
I use both, at home primarily Linux, at work primarily Windows. I had troubles in both that caused serious headaches, but generally they both work without too much problems.
This might have been a bit rambling 😅

I don’t understand why people can’t simply believe that someone could actually have very little issues with performance or settings after switching.
What About™ people who have issues when installing windows, as if that never happens.
I put both kinds of operating systems on a myriad of computers and sometimes it’s smooth sailing and sometimes it’s like stepping on rake after rake.
My kids use odroid c4 devices. Great for browsing and videos, absolutely no gaming unless it’s old and native (quake 2, half life, …) or browser games like blockpost. They play the bejeezus out of that. All in all pretty good choice. It being both Linux and arm reduces the attack surface a bit considering these are kids with internet access.
If you like the form factor but prefer x86_64 then you could look into UP board series.
DeArrow, Consent-O-Matic and uBlock are ESSENTIAL.
Amount of store apps on my phone: zero.
My wife has an app that is basically a card holder. Instead of pulling out a loyalty card, she pulls up the one app that has all of them scanned/copied. It’s great.
