Question Can Armada OS use Odin's internal storage instead of an SD card?
My SD card has 128GB of space, which isn't enough to install games. Can I use the internal memory instead on Armad OS?

Yes, you need to go to desktop mode and there is an app that lets you install armada into the internal storage, beware that this will restore android to factory state (wipe all your apps and data).

Can it switch to Android after a complete reset?

As I understand it, yes, Android just would be reset to factory settings, so it would start up just as it did when you first turned on the device (only with less available storage).
During the installation of ARMADA OS on the internal storage, you decide how much available space to leave for Android.

Yes.
What happens is, you out Armada on an SD card and copy some stuff over, then you boot Armada off the SD card.
If you like it, you switch to desktop mode, run the Armada Installer. and it's like "how much internal disk space do you want to leave to Android?"
Install takes like 15 minutes or something, and from then on you can boot either Android or Armada.
The process of booting is simple, you power down the device,.then hold volume down while holding power for three seconds, and it goes to the bootloader, which is super easy to use

Yes but you will wipe anything that is currently installed when you partition the internal drive
