With the release of Linux Kernel 5.15, a new filesystem driver called ntfs3 was added. It was developed by Paragon Software and offers full read/write capabilities along with NTFS and Unix permission support. For more information, visit the official documentation links provided. This update marks a significant step toward making it feasible to switch from Windows to Linux without reformatting or losing data. We'll share further details soon!

It might be connected to Steam Deck since it offers Windows dual-boot support, which can simplify managing SD cards.

The driver respects native Unix access controls and maintains them correctly on the filesystem. Windows interprets root-owned files through TrustedInstaller, managing non-admin files similarly. Both systems use consistent case sensitivity and file linking.

It's actually feasible to run both Windows 11 and Linux side by side from one partition.

You're up for a test! Try running Linux from various unusual sources but steer clear if you're not comfortable. Looking for a tough one? Set up FreeBSD, Linux, Illumos, MacOS, and Windows on the same ZFS volume—should work since they all back it up.
