Yeah, I get that I'm doing it wrong and logged on to post as much. To address your questions:
Why does the raspi-config settings have an "expand file system" option if it already does it? Why does the card look all broken up in gnome disk utility before expansion and solid after?
I have a 4GB sandisk cruzer USB3 for a swap drive, made with gnome disk utility.
I really am using the raspberry pi imager. Don't know why anyone would suspect otherwise. I have it on my pi and windows 10 pc.
My recent development is trying 32 bit vs 64 bit raspbian in the pi4.
I got a new sandisk cruzer USB3 128GB and decided to write it up for OS. Catch me if I'm wrong again, but I've heard that using USB is better for OS than microSD. Accidentally chose 32 bit, but did not notice until later. Everything worked really snappy. I got through the few settings I change and was opening up VLC player. Setting the sound, I noticed that it did not see my external sound card as being able to output 5.1 digital like 64 bit does. This being the main thing for video BECAUSE of that 5.1 digital connection, I had to report my findings.
I guess the real lesson here is not to undercut your needs.
