Help request Issue creating live usb with persistence.

Just a knoob. I have a 2017 i5 MacBook Air that is running MX KDE. This weekend I was playing around trying to find the best way to create a live USB with persistence. YUMI usbs fail to load and mkusb so far won’t install, says repository not found.
I don’t know if it’s a hardware and OS issue. The only usb with persistence i was able to create were Puppy Linux and antiX using MX Live USB. My question would be, is there a program out there that will work on my system?

with persistence, I would stick with (mx-)live-usb-maker, we share the antiX live system.

I tried making a live usb with persistence for Mint using live usb maker and it stops loading at # 38 asks for stable or dchp and won’t load anything else.

that would be because live-usb-maker is for antiX/MX family distros, of which mint is not one. so totally incompatible.
