NTFS has been included in the kernel starting in 2021, notably with NTFS3 from Paragon. There are differing compatibility concerns across platforms, especially regarding permissions and naming conventions. Although it functions, native Linux applications might encounter difficulties. If you experience mount issues on Linux, refer to the relevant guide. For those planning to use Steam with NTFS, consult the official documentation. It’s worth considering replacing ntfs-3g with ntfs3 in guides and enabling nofail options to prevent system panic during boot. Always remember to reload system settings after modifying /etc/fstab; don’t reboot if you encounter errors, as this could trigger emergency mode. I’ve personally noticed Windows sometimes rejecting NTFS partitions after using Linux tools like the new NTFS3 driver or the fuse ntfs-3g driver. Others have successfully used it for years without problems. If dualboot is enabled and Windows Fast Startup is disabled, try rebooting into Windows and performing a full shutdown to resolve any strange states. WiFi cards often pose challenges in these scenarios.
