I used
and I chose the 4GB persistence file when prompted (xfce version of ISO)
chose first MX-21 x64 boot menu item
entered new password twice
chose 1=Auto
and it booted to Desktop OK
I then saved a new folder on Desktop and rebooted.
The new desktop folder is now present.
So persistence works as far as I can see
I used IdeaPad 300 for test (seemed to get blank screen if used VBOX 5).
MX-21_February_x64.iso also tested and works.
Code:
"persistence_uefi":[
{
"image": "/_ISO/LINUX/linuxmint-20.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso",
"backend":[
"/_ISO/LINUX/persistence_ext4_256MB_casper-rwCIN.dat"

},
