Okay so... This is kind of a follow-up. I formatted with Rufus a 128Gb USB 3.1 (gen 1) with a 116Gb GPT persistent partition and I'm using NTFS with a 4096 cluster. Everythings fine, I install Gnome Tweaks, Dconfig Editor, update the whole thing with Software Update, download the propietary Nvidia drivers, you know... But then I reboot via terminal/button on the desktop and everything's gone. When I try to boot from the USB it takes me to the GRUB menu, I click Ubuntu, Ubuntu Safe Graphics and it just goes 0.365513 Initramfs unpacking failed/0.365282 Initramfs unpacking failed/similars that I didn't even wrote down. Then it just says "Unable to find medium container a live file system" but no key works nor does anything, I've formatted the same USB about 4 times today, it keeps happening and I don't know why. I just want a live usb I can use between my desktop pc and laptop, please.

Advantages of a Persistent install
You can use the Persistent pendrive to install Ubuntu to another computer.
A Persistent install takes up less space on the pendrive.
You can reset the Persistent pendrive by overwriting the old casper-rw file with a new one.
The Persistent install to pendrive takes less time.
Slightly less wear on the drive.
Advantages of a Full install
You can update and upgrade a Full Install.
If you have problems or wish to modify, the solution is the same as with an internal install, (You can ask for help in forums).
No ugly startup / install screen.
Better security, you can encrypt a Full Install.
You can use proprietary drivers.
Hibernation works.
There is no 4GB casper-rw or 4GB home-rw persistence file size limitation.
Generally faster boot than Live or Persistent USBs.
More stable.
