Many Raspberry Pi distro spend all the card’s TBW writing /var/log stuffs for no reason. It’s a known issue often attributed to “cheap microSD cards”.

Yes, just to explain why:

microSD cards (and all flash storage) has a limited number of writes. If you let your rpi write logs, you will soon run out of writable space and if you are lucky you end up with a card that is read only. If unlucky it just stops working all toghether.
