  • The NTFS warning is a little disingenuous. I wouldn’t recommend people go with it if they’re choosing Linux only obviously, but I’m going to say with years of personal testing about 99.9% of things work just fine using an NTFS drive. I think it’s been years since I had any kind of issue with game data that I attributed (and maybe falsely) at the time to the NTFS filesystem.

    In steam you’ll need to symlink your compatdata folder to a linux filesystem, but that’s about it.

    I’m all caught up, and that’s my conclusion. This is a business with a lot of moving parts. What is the implication in all this? That Linus is incompetent, harmful, malicious, greedy? It’s all dumb drama, and I’m pretty disappointed in a lot of people all around in the way it was handled.

    See, this is all just an overly emotional / reactionary read to me. Right now everyone is in a echo chamber, it’s really odd from the outside looking in with everyone getting so worked up like this is the ulitmate sin. Steve is whipping everyone up into a hyperactive state for what endgame? I’m interested in what happens ultimately, but I’d be surprised if LTT does anything but continue to grow, and get better.





  • Yeah,performance overhead aside, in Windows it reads and writes fine because of that. Anything thqt changes in Windows however will write the uid of that file as the windows SID I believe, either way I was using regularly the chown -Rf commands to reclaim files back in Linux.

    It’s mostly a problem with how steam handles updates downloading to temp folders, etc… It’s the sharing of steam libraries that this happens to most often if you’re back and forth between os’s
