It depends on the distro. What especially hammers SD cards on Linux, eventually rendering the card read-only, is logs being written to disk. A lot of distros for Raspberry Pi therefore now keep logs in RAM.

This issue is true of any flash memory. See my sibling comment on using an USB stick to write data: I also destroyed a bunch with logs
