Appreciate the vid. I'm not brandnoob but noob enough to still look for instructional videos, lol. I'm competent enough with the gui for partitions but I really wanna learn the command line route. So, me and my trusty usb will be be slicin and dicin for a little while today. Thanks again, dude :-)

Very useful, I should try to learn how to do things like this in the terminal as well instead of always relying on gparted. This seems quick and it's good that it doesn't require a graphical interface :)

For compatibility with multiple operating systems, UDF is another good file system choice. It's ISO 13346, still the only ISO file system as far as I know. It's what DVDs used.

I recommend this script for doing it. There are a few versions of UDF, and I think it aims to be compatible with as many things as possible.

My experience regarding compatibility with both win 10 and macOS is go for oldfashion vfat filesystem. MacOS read ntfs filesystem but doesn't allways write to ntfs out of the box.
