Comment 2 Thomas Andrews 2024-05-06 03:23:11 CEST

MGA9-64 Plasma. No installation issues. 

Bug 31055 tells me that Isodumper uses exfatprogs when formatting a usb stick to exFAT. I took a 128GB usb stick that was already formatted in NTFS, and used Isodumper to reformat it into exFAT, and added a label. After using MCC to confirm that the stick was indeed now in exFAT, and labeled, I used Dolphin to copy a video to it. VLC played the video from the stick without issues. Then I moved the file to another directory on my SSD,and "safely removed" the usb stick.

This is good to go. Validating.
