It's not identical? They are different architectires.
What does the architecture of the CPU have to do with the disk format? Nothing lol, linux arm can use ext4, btrfs, xfs etc same as it's x86 counterpart
~~Any binaries saved on the SD card would need to be duplicated to both x86 and ARM.~~
No they have FEX which translates x86 to arm instructions
Despite being ARM CPUs and Linux based machines, I'm pretty sure most of what they play is Windows x86 binaries.
Sure but with FEX it shouldn’t matter
