Swapping Sd cards
Other than that the phones/tablets recognize the cards by their "serial" in the filesystem. You can manipulate it with standard tools: https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs

Why is exfatprogs not in the focal repositories?
There is a new exFAT implementation, introduced with kernel 5.7. Ubuntu 20.04 runs on kernel 5.8, so it has the new implementation, but the programs to manipulate exFAT aren't in the repos. These programs are in newer versions of Ubuntu, so I don't see why they wouldn't be in 20.04. The exfat-utils package is for the old FUSE implementation, which is very slow.

Does anyone know why Rufus creates a second "UEFI" volume that's <1MB?
Indeed, that 1 MB volume is the UEFI:NTFS partition that is described here.

Looking for help installing a specific distro on a very peculiar computer.
I am the developer of Rufus, and I have spent an inordinate amount of time making sure that, YES, EVEN UEFI COMPUTERS THAT ARE "ALLEGEDLY" ONLY MEANT TO SUPPORT FAT32 FOR BOOT CAN ACTUALLY BOOT FROM THE NTFS PARTITION CREATED BY RUFUS (through the magic of a little solution called UEFI:NTFS). See also this entry from our FAQ.

Rufus made 2 UEFI partitions. Which one to choose?

I made a USB for Build 25120 with Rufus and for some reason it is also displaying the UEFI partition for it. It is meant to happen?
Rufus dev here. That's the UEFI:NTFS partition, needed to boot computers that don't have a native NTFS driver and it is completely harmless (and uses a negligible amount of space since it's just 1 MB). So, yes, this is meant to happen.

Anyone able to install windows on steam deck while only owning a mac?
So if you want to copy the contents of the ISO as is, you need to extract them to exFAT or NTFS (which are file systems that the Windows installer can also read outside of FAT), but this means that you may have to install an exFAT or NTFS UEFI driver to chain load the Windows installer, which is why utilities like Rufus and WoeUSB add a 1 MB UEFI:NTFS partition at the end of the drive, that takes care of that.

Can't get Windows 11 image to boot.
Rufus uses UEFI:NTFS, and therefore WILL allow your firmware to boot from NTFS. So, no, you don't have to use FAT32, and you should let Rufus create the drive with NTFS, as, even when using NTFS, it will create a drive that can be booted from UEFI.

[Discussion] Tool to burn in USB a standalone media created in SCCM
If it's because Rufus creates 2 partitions, then you should read about this (UEFI:NTFS is what Rufus uses to boot drives that are NOT compatible with UEFI, such as ones where you cannot use FAT32 because they contain a file that is larger than 4 GB), and understand that the data on the NTFS partition is exactly the same as the one you'd have found on a FAT32 drive, if your data was suitable for FAT32.
