I have a new 64GB USB and it was not show up at first time:
Thanks to this video I typed fdisk -l, then I was able to see 58.2 GB
After trying to install the exfat package with dnf -y install fuse-exfat, I failed
What I did after many failings was, setting the partition using the GUI:
Then you can see the new format as Ext4:
It is OK to have a little FreeSpace with no extension. It is time to write into the USB:
Now we can see the USB device in the list of devices 😀

Thanks for this explanation, I would never find the solution. Thank you.
I usually install fuse-exfat and exfat-utils after installing any distro… ExFAT is a Microsoft standard and I don’t like the idea, but it works by default on Windows and macOS, I’ve even been able to use it on SDXC and High Capacity Pendrive without any problems.
I think those packages should be installed by default in fedora. You may be interested in this ticket: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770738
Ext4 is not good for an SD card, it would be better to use F2FS.
That’s true, disabling journaling in Ext4 might help but F2FS is a better choice.

the only problem with this… you won’t be able to use your sd card on any computer beyond linux
