You still have devices?
I'm over here chilling with
mya- Rental flat, where I can't make any modifications or else I'll be evicted.
- Free TV that serves me ads, on the condition I don't tamper with it.
- Leased car with a heated seat subscription.
- Vendor-locked iPhone that came with my mobile plan.
- Netflix subscription that still shows me ads.
I'd say the only thing I own is the clothes on my back, but those were repossessed yesterday for nonpayment.

I just leave all config in memory. If the user really cared, they would never reboot.

I just hard code all config in the source code. If the user really cared, they would recompile from source.

I deliberately run / and /home as tmpfs. Then everything I want to persist across boots gets symlinked in at system start, and anything I didn't opt in to saving gets deleted every boot.

A filesystem is just writing to random unused blocks with extra steps.
