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.

    BTRFS works for me.

    I tried NTFS, but Steam games won’t run from NTFS partitions under Linux.

      I have my steam games running from a NTFS storage partition separate from my Windows and Linux home partitions…

      I had some initial issues when I started doing that, and it required a different read method for the drive (which never worked), but for about 6mo I’ve had no issues running steam off a vanilla NTFS drive.
