I thought exfat was ~universal and decent?

- lxgr 2y agoNow it finally is, yes! Back when I last really would have needed it, exFAT on Linux still required FUSE drivers (with the corresponding performance hit), and I remember having to install these as well. Also, many embedded devices used to not support exFAT, which was annoying when reusing a flash drive to e.g. quickly show some photos on a TV with a USB port without reformatting them from "computer to computer use" to "computer to embedded use".
