#Random Linux

[Sin_Chase]

I am running Bazzite on my main PC and after a week its looking like I will stay on this full time, Unless CachyOS makes faster progress or I decide I want more power than the immutable OS set up offers.
My question is that Bazzite warns you over NTFS drives and the internet is full of "it works fine for me" and "its a time bomb dont do it". Well I dont plan to use any local NTFS drives. However my "NAS" is actually a windows 11 pc using shared folders so that I can access them with my microsoft login. I can login and access it just fine using SMB but since it is NTFS I dont want to risk any data on there. I dont know enough about any of this to know if it is translated or whatever the correct term is when accessed via the network or if using it from bazzite could corrupt it?

What do you mean by CachyOS makes faster progress? CachyOS by its very rolling release nature will get updates and features quicker than Bazzite.

Don't use NTFS as a file system on Linux. BTRFS and ext4 are popular options with BTRFS being the default for /root on Bazzite. You'll need to research which one suits your needs but BTRFS will be fine.

The FS on your linux system will have 0 impact on your NAS. You can connect to it's SMB shares via mount and cifs.
