I’m running EndeavourOS and Windows 11. Each OS is on a separate disk, but I have a data disk that is currently NTFS that mount in both OSes. NTFS causes problems for some things in Linux, and I’m worried it’ll bork the drive for windows eventually, so I’m keen to find an alternative. I’ve read about the WinBTRFS driver so wondering if that is a better way to go?

I don’t want to run a server with a share to access this data because it is way to slow for my needs.

    I’ve once tried WinBTRFS and on top of not making it work I still have leftover drivers that can’t be deleted.

    I just use ntfs3 and ever since tweaking steam so that it does not put proton compatdata on it I didn’t have to reboot and run chkdsk for months now.

      This supports my thinking that ntfs3 is the way to go, or at least worth testing for a while.
