You should format the SD card using the FAT32 file system. It’s the simplest option for Mint and works well with most Linux setups.

To convert from exFAT to another format, you’ll need a third-party tool since Windows only supports exFAT or NTFS natively. Look for reliable software like EaseUS Data Converter or WinMerge to perform the conversion.

Identify storage device: run lsblk command.
Prepare filesystem: use sudo to format with ext4.
Check formatting status: list device details again.

You would use the built-in tools like File Explorer, PowerShell commands, or scripting to achieve it on Windows.

It seems you're unsure about your options. Using third-party tools could help. Keeping the file in FAT32 is okay unless required.

I’ve noticed mixed data online about exFAT support in Linux Ubuntu—some say it works, others claim it’s limited to Windows.

NTFS is the latest format but I haven’t installed either on Linux yet. Fortunately, most Linux distributions install images quickly, so give one a try and if it fails, attempt the other. Welcome to the Linux world!

You've saved the ISO file onto your SD card. Now you need to transfer it to a computer for installation.

I got the card layout right, but Windows isn’t recognizing it. You might try saving it to a USB drive and see if that works.
