I’m running EndeavourOS and Windows 11. Each OS is on a separate disk, but I have a data disk that is currently NTFS that mount in both OSes. NTFS causes problems for some things in Linux, and I’m worried it’ll bork the drive for windows eventually, so I’m keen to find an alternative. I’ve read about the WinBTRFS driver so wondering if that is a better way to go?

I don’t want to run a server with a share to access this data because it is way to slow for my needs.

    Yeah I’m just adding onto the pile that I would not recommend WinBTRFS for regular access. I had both data corruption and frequent system instability while using it.

    If they’re fully separate disks (not just partitions) you can use WSL2 to mount and access the drives if you only need it “occasionally” and don’t mind the overhead.
