Choose a suitable filesystem like ext4 or XFS for reliability and performance.

They are using NTFS and fat32 formats. Both appear reliable to me, though I encountered boot problems on older systems with NTFS, making fat32 a safer choice.

Choose the operating system's required filesystem. Whether using a standard partition layout (UEFI FAT32 or MBR with grub) doesn't affect booting. Different distributions pick different defaults—Ubuntu uses ext4, Fedora may use XFS or BTRFS based on version, etc. Just stick to the one that fits your needs.

Sorry, the setup isn't possible with those options. For the distribution you're aiming for, using ext4 or the default filesystem is recommended.

Wait a minute, right? It automatically formats when you install it there. That’s strange since I assumed it worked with NTFS.

Occurs as expected. The issue arises because Linux needs certain capabilities that NTFS lacks. You can attach an NTFS-formatted disk but won’t be able to use it as the root partition.

It indicates a possible incomplete resolution. The response points to ext2, 3, or 4 as the correct path. For encryption, ext2 is recommended due to its lack of journaling, which helps reduce write operations and extends the lifespan of your USB drive.
