   Like I get the thing about RAM caches and SD write throttling, but what I don't understand is why a different partition map, especially just… a regular ol' MBR with the ext4 partition deleted and recreated, would help at all

     It seems like there is pretty strong consensus that reformatting the SD card on a Steam deck with KDE Partition Manager *does* work to fix catastrophically slow SD card speeds, but I cannot understand *why* it works. Can anyone who knows stuff about #linux filesystems explain it to me?
