That's what I thought!

The real issue with Fat32 is the 4gb file size limit.

About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32's 4-GB cap, which I've disliked. I'm still using Ntfs.

Problem is NTFS isn't as widely supported across alternative operating systems.

Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.

I have Windows so I'm OK with Ntfs.
