Been thwarted at getting "persistence" on a Xubuntu live pendrive.

I tried a couple of different methods, but neither worked. So, looking for anybody experienced in doing this. Here are the 2 methods that failed:

How to make a persistent live Ubuntu USB with more than 4GB, wouldn't boot up after executing said operations.
rufus-win8ee-lm171c-uefi-mk-a-persistent-live-flashdrive; on this operation, #27 returned "no such file or directory".

I could provide more details, but it would be a lengthy essay. This is the specs: Xubuntu 17.10 & 18.04 (tried both)-Lexar 16GB 3.0 pendrive- Dell 7040/7090 Optiplex. Oh, for some reason Unetbootin, Pendrivelinux nor LiLi will work but Rufus does (to make a bootable stick).(???)

Try YUMI if on Windows or mkusb if on Linux. for large persistence. – C.S.Cameron Jun 04 '18 at 15:08
In Ubuntu or a community flavour of Ubuntu: Try mkusb. It works with all current versions and flavours of Ubuntu (including Xubuntu) to make a persistent live drive. In Windows: Rufus works for me. See more details in this link. – sudodus Nov 22 '22 at 15:14
