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.

    Indeed. Steam on Linux does cause issues with filenames. I keep games I run on Linux on an ext4 drive. There isn’t any other choice unfortunately.

      Well, with NTFS, there isn’t. That’s why I said, BTRFS is definitely the better choice for games. Never had issues with two shared drives in over two years now with WinBTRFS.
