From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

File system for 3rd hard drive on Win/Linux PC? (lemmy.ml)

I'm planning on dual booting Windows and Linux on my computer, but each system from a separate hard drive, but what about my 3rd hard drive (which i use mostly for storing games, videos etc...) Should i use ExFAT? I can't really use NTFS because Linux can't write to it.

Myself I have dual boot. For the sake of simplicity - let's say I have 2 drives:

  1. 512GB NVME SSD - for OSes.
  2. 2TB SATA SSD - for games.

512gb ssd partitioned into 2 parts - 256 for Linux and 256 for Windows.

2TB ssd without partitions, but a plain BTRFS with zstd compression storage.

Guess what - There is WinBTRFS driver. I am also sharing the same Steam library (on 2TB ssd) between both OSes... 😅 Works like a charm. 👌👌👌
