    If they’re incorporating open libraries, Hopefully support for real filesystems will be next

      Humm, I doubt it as NTFS has ACLs built in to FS directly, so far I don’t know if Linux FS has that feature, I know that ACLs exists in the Linux file world, but I don’t know if they are built in durectly in the FS.

        How would it be any different to the various FAT filesystems it supports now?

          That is fair, I confused support with making windows run on them rather than being able to just read and write to them.

          That is my mistake.

              Very interesting, thank you for sharing, I thought NTFS was so ingrained in Windows that it could bot run on anything else.

        Pretty much all Linux FS support ACLs and have for an eternity.

        The thing is that nobody uses ACLs because the good ole user/group/world rwx scheme is much less of a hassle to work with in 99.9% of the cases and the remaining 0.01% can still be done.

            not really scalable when you want to just stick the usb stick in a family member’s PC. They dont want you fucking around with WSL, or they probably run home edition which has no hyper-v for WSL

                Yes reformat my already working keys for the one time I have to plug into a Windows box, or you know Microsoft could put the effort into being compatible.

                  They did. But you always have something to complain about. Grow up.

                    of course! You’re right! Suggesting in a thread discussing a large corporation that wants to be seen as pro open source (hearting Linux, buying github) for the last decade does something with open source code in their OS and being bold enough to do even more in the name of native compatibility is childish!
