    But has the Windows NTFS driver gotten better? That’s the main concern, usually. Windows not really respecting Microsoft’s own specification and assuming it’s the only player on your PC.

      You can set linux to write in a “windows compatible” way via a mount option.

      I haven’t had issues with “linux written files in windows” in a long time. Access is fine. But again, it’s only for bulk storage (like media files, database files or temporary transfers): I don’t use it for apps or anything.

      Windows behaves well enough on its own too. Obviously NTFS isn’t ideal, but the driver is stable at least.
