Please don't give out misleading information on the internet based off of personal experience. The raspberry pi has documented issues that occur when power is cut, and it runs Linux.
The issues is more about hardware than software. The FTL (flash transition layer) will remap storage on the fly as part of its wear leveling feature. If you kill power during a remapping, you pretty much lose the whole disk. This is different from flash storage on something like a roboRIO or a wireless router, which doesn't have that additional layer of abstraction.
Linux does care when its file system is no longer usable.
However, I am a firm believer in the theory that if you are pushing with a mecanum wheeled robot you are doing it wrong. - Andrew Schreiber [more]
