never saw anyone suggest that before to make persistence.......kali 2020 is not capable of straight forward persistence like your describing - that ended in 2019. I struggled like you after successfully making kali os persistent usbs since BACKTRACK. Yeah there were a few who believed persistence a good idea despite the draw backs at the time (seniors->pun intended). concluded kali2020 can not be made persistent like your describing. What is being described on this forum and youtube for kali2020 is kali installed on a usb (like debian used to be done when debian used an installer a couple of years ago) Now debian has individual iso's, with mainstream persistence use actively maintained and kali has switched to the installer method.
