As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍
…and Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System!

This might sound ignorant but that’s cause I am. Why doesn’t windows just use ext4, btrfs, XFS, or something open source. They wouldn’t have to worry about developing it so it’d be a load off their chest and they could get really good features that even NTFS doesn’t have. Well maybe not with ext4 but with btrfs
Why should they use anything else if NTFS had being great for 30 years?
idk who was dumb enough to upvote this but NTFS hasn’t been great. That’s why they’re making a replacement called reFS
It stood the test of time. Is it up to par with modern alternatives? Mmm, no. But for a 30 years old tech - it’s pretty freaking awesome!
Windows recovery is unable to boot.
there is an open source btrfs kernel driver for it and a userspace one for ext4
