Hey folks, I just finished writing a guide for setting up NTFS drives for Linux gaming. There’s been some misinformation and questions on whether it’s feasible, but if you set it up right you should be fine.

Hopefully this can help others avoid the pain I’ve gone through to make it work without issues!

    I always think of NTFS in the same thought as FAT32, and I know that FAT is File Allocation Table, but I never knew what NTFS meant, and so I always just called it the Not Too Fat System.

    That’s it, I don’t have anything useful to add, only this personal little anecdote.

      It stands for New Technology File System from back in the Windows NT days, like NT 3.1 in the early 90s (my brain always thinks of Windows 2000 NT when that was really like NT 5).

      I think I prefer your definition.
