    The Linux kernel supports reading NTFS but not writing to it.

    That’s not true. Since kernel 5.15, Linux uses the new NTFS3 driver, which supports both read and write. And performance wise it’s much better than the old ntfs-3g FUSE driver, and it’s also arguably better in stability too, since at least kernel 6.2.

    Personally though, I’d recommend being on 6.8+ if you’re going to use NTFS seriously, or at the very least, 6.2 (as 6.2 introduces the mount options windows_names and nocase). @[email protected]
