As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍
…and Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System!
Nobody tell him
That was oddly hostile.
Why are Linux nerds so insecure? Lol
?
Making an account to say this seems like the insecure thing. Lol
Also plenty of Windows users criticize NTFS. It’s just outdated. Windows needs a new option.
Honest question: what are the limitations? Most articles online compare it with FAT, which isn’t really an interesting comparison.
What about ReFS !? I have read it could be the alternative to NTFS in the future.
Thanks for the well wishes! I hope they won’t get corrupted on your new, fresh and untested-by-time file system. Go on, save this post. I’ll wait…
i’m confused… are you talking about ext4, xfs, zfs…? because these are the filesystems linux people talk about and these are also the filesystems that run the worlds databases and data storage systems
I realize my comment sounds like throwing shade onto the great file systems in the linux space.
I just wanted to point out, that when it comes to file systems you probably want the “old and stuffy” one because it has ben tested by time and you won’t lose your data.
so… fat>ntfs?
that’s not how this works
Yes, but only when NTFS was still young, though. As it matured and became more reliable it also became “fat<ntfs”, to put it in your terms.
choice is king
for some things, sure… but for other things i’ll take snapshots, dedupe, etc… i’ll put my system disk on a fancy new filesystem and keep my user data on something more mundane for sure! that allows snapshot and restore of major upgrades with basically no effort
