I was an exFat user, but then a lot of corruption and/or disconnections from sd reader in windows happened.
With fat32, even if there is a disconnection, the archive is never corrupted entirely, so I can fix it (and from switch neither there are problems).
But making a war over it...

Stop spreading dangerous missinformation.
It is not misinformation. If you do what you are supposed to do, there would never be any problems. Or tell me, why just someone experiences it if it is known information that it happens?
And I am still waiting for sources.
But hey. Maybe that I am the only guy with no problems of exfat.

If you use usb install to avoid ever needing to put games on your sd card then fat32 has no disadvantages and no risk, unlike exfat

USB install? I have a USB HDD in exfat. I have reformatted my sd cards now but not the HDD. My HDD is for PS4 Games and XCI files. that's it. IS there a risk running XCI files from exfat? I am not running homebrew off the HDD,

If you did what you were supposed to, you wouldn't be using homebrew.

Using homebrew and still no problem. I have to say it. What are you people doing that all of you have problems and want to switch to fat32? Most people don't have the problems and are happy with exfat.
That's a moot point. You literally said "If you do what you are supposed to do" which is not use homebrew or hack your switch. Logical fallacy.

Not really if you at least try to think a bit and try to understand what I meant by that.
It works until it doesn't.
Corruption is inevitable long term
Isn't that how everything works tho?
