Microsoft caught up to Linux.

They cannot even read (let alone write) any of the FOSS file systems used in Linux.

Thankfully. I wouldn't trust windows with a mounted foreign filesystem if I dual booted.

That’s an odd statement. I had an ext4 partition mounted on a Windows 11 machine just a week ago.

Natively somehow, or via LFS? If you have LFS set up, explorer lets you use it to mount Linux disks
