Gotta keep Windows for work reasons, I’m not rebooting every time I want to play a game and there are terabytes of stuff in there I’m not duplicating.
So yeah, I’m going to use whatever format works on both (which at this point is MS’s option, I’d take a good ext4 implementation on Windows, too).
And, you know, if that isn’t an option then maybe Linux isn’t ready? Maybe that cue card had stuff written on both sides, eh?
Seriously, what’s with the Linux community defaulting to “oh, you tried to do this officially supported thing on Linux? You idiot”. If I’m not supposed to use NTFS on Linux maybe don’t include a driver for it that mounts all my Windows drives out of the box. In the meantime I’ll continue my entirely unreasonable expectation that built-in features of the OS actually work.
For the record, it is Steam that’s borked. The NTFS driver just randomly sets the dirty flag on the drives and forces me to manually clean them up every now and then. I could live with that if it was the only issue.

ext4 not working on Windows means that Windows isn’t ready, if anything.
It’s just unreasonable to expect Windows stuff to work on Linux, just like you wouldn’t expect it to work on MacOS or Android.
For those who desperately need to use Windows stuff, Linux provides some compatibility, like semi-compatible libs (Wine) and semi-compatible systems (NTFS).
While Linux offers for some compatibility, Windows offers no compatibility.
If you consider Windows anywhere near ready, then Linux has been ready for a long time.
But no, Linux will not run your Android apps as well as Android, your MacOS apps as well as MacOS or your Windows apps as well as Windows.
Ah, here we go again.

Linux is for running Linux apps.
