Not to also mention the outdated filesytem

We should rename NTFS to OTFS now.

For real - it would be AWESOME if you could install windows on ZFS or btrfs or whatever

[–] targetx@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You'd still be running Windows though so why bother

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

While I agree that Linux is generally better, there are some use cases outside of gaming that work better in (or are required to use for one reason or another) Windows.

[–] targetx@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

Oh I definitely agree. But still; when I'm running Windows the filesystem is very low on my list of annoyances.

That has a hell of a lot of disclaimers around reliability, and I’m not seeing anything about it being able to actually host the operating system on the filesystem itself, or any way to roll this into the installer itself

They knew it’s not going to stay new forever, but they went ahead with that name anyway. I guess that’s what happens when the marketing team wins the company raffle.

NTFS isn't the issue, at least in my experience, and not even Microsoft's implementation of it (though ntfs-3g seems faster). The issue is the File Explorer: Things like reading mtimes of gigantic directories takes maybe a second under linux, nushell under windows (native, not WSL) is just a tiny bit slower, while File Explorer takes minutes to sort by mtime. Coming to think of it I should try Dolphin.

Generally speaking the problem with Windows is not so much NT but everything on top of it.
