[picking a random message to reply]

I just saw an email from SanDisk support (whatever this means) where
they claim the only supported model for this kind of use is the
high-endurance series:
https://www.sandisk.com/home/memory-cards/microsd-cards/high-endurance-microsd

This same email says that running any kind of OS in any of the other
card models automatically breaks the warranty.

HTH,
