??? As a Linux power user for over a decade I genuinely don't know what possible caveat there is. I've used NTFS drives under Linux every day and the only problems I've ever had were when I mounted the drives in Windows because it loves to fuck with NTFS settings and set dirty bits and stuff.
I dual-boot Linux and Windows, on their own drives, and then have two big 4TB shared NTFS drives on which EVERYTHING - Media, games, programs, docs, etc goes. I dinnae overexaggerate when I say I have had a total of zero problems that weren't directly caused by Windows.
So zero problems except for the problems caused by dual booting, something first time linux users might do. Sounds like a caveat to me.
Apparently the 7.1 kernel has a full rewrite i may try but fuse and ntfs3 wasn’t decades of no issues in my experience. But ofc thats trumped by your experience
I apologise - I'm not saying one's experience is invalid, just that I really honestly ain't seen problems.
True I suppose that dual booting has the caveat - disable fast startup and always shut down cleanly if you don't want Windows to fuck up your NTFS.
Sorry I was having a series of bad migraines and health scares I overreacted. So things I would list would be
Sorry for being aggressive having a bad life rn
