    Ah, here we go again.

    Gotta keep Windows for work reasons, I’m not rebooting every time I want to play a game and there are terabytes of stuff in there I’m not duplicating.

    So yeah, I’m going to use whatever format works on both (which at this point is MS’s option, I’d take a good ext4 implementation on Windows, too).

    And, you know, if that isn’t an option then maybe Linux isn’t ready? Maybe that cue card had stuff written on both sides, eh?

    Seriously, what’s with the Linux community defaulting to “oh, you tried to do this officially supported thing on Linux? You idiot”. If I’m not supposed to use NTFS on Linux maybe don’t include a driver for it that mounts all my Windows drives out of the box. In the meantime I’ll continue my entirely unreasonable expectation that built-in features of the OS actually work.

    For the record, it is Steam that’s borked. The NTFS driver just randomly sets the dirty flag on the drives and forces me to manually clean them up every now and then. I could live with that if it was the only issue.
