@seaken64, we had too many complaints about irrecoverable data loss when people used fat32 for their live usbs. If you want to have the first partition be fat32 and the 2nd partition be ext4 with the live-usb stuff, there is a recipe for swapping them around in this thread; antiX live usb maker PARTITION TABLE issue?. This will change the partitioning to gpt and this will cause problems on some Dell models.
It breaks my heart when our users needlessly lose all their data. In addition, there have been a lot of bogus myths and suggestions saying fat32 and ext2 are better for usb sticks and there are a lot of people who fall for this nonsense and still believe it. Few people take the risk of data loss seriously until it happens to them. You can probably still make an antiX/MX fat32 live-usb with Rufus. You could also do it manually by saving everything on the ext4 partition, use mkfs.vfat to convert it to a fat32 partition and copy everything back. If you want to boot legacy then you will need to run syslinux to reinstall the bootloader. I’d call this Kovorian
mode and I think it is ill-advised unless you absolutely do not care about losing all of your data.
There is an old saying that there are two kinds of people in the world, those who have never lost any data and those who make backups. I think there may be something similar about losing data due to an unreliable file system.
It’s like asking someone to make cars without seatbelts or air bags. Sure, the chances of any one person dying or worse may be small but the manufacturer will still have a lot of blood on their hands.
