    My experience of using NTFS on Linux was downloading a torrent on a dual boot laptop and it shutting down due to overheating. This was more than a decade ago, so hopefully it’s a lot better by now.

      I’ve been transferring files from old NTFS drives formatted for Windows on a Debian machine without issue.

        Reading from NTFS is nearly flawless. Writing and actively using it is pretty bad occasionally though, to the point where steam doesn’t support it and recommends against it for game libraries on Linux.
