SD card corruption is a big problem with the Pi, but its easily solved: enable the read-only overlay for your boot/root filesystems. This is built into the RPI OS. start raspi-config, and go into performance options.
Every month or two, disable the overlay (again using raspi-config), reboot, apply updates, re-enable the overlay, and you are good to go.
Also, if you are using a PI4, switch to booting from a USB stick and just forget about the SDcard.
- smilespray 4y agoThanks! This is handy to know. All the guides I've seen earlier involved a lot of manual config.
- JamesSwift 4y agoThey also support netbooting now I believe. Been meaning to try it out so I can fully host my retropi on my NAS.

- m463 4y agowhen did that option appear? that is great info. (I've been running openwrt on a pi just because it had an overlay filesystem - I could run raspbian now)
