Best part of the joke is EXT4 partitions (and BTRFS, ZFS, etc too?) are invisible to Windows, so it’s just “flailing its gun” at the wind the whole time.
Actual legit handy in my setup. I use some things on Windows but mainly drive openSUSE.
Being able to just pluck whatever files I need from my windows drive is pretty dope.
I hate the lack of Linux compatibility in windows, the one time I use windows and I need to access btrfs? Good fucking luck, most tools have astericks attached, “MIGHT CORRUPT YOUR DRIVE, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK”
circular links go bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrre
Not sure Linux busts in like this. It just, sorta walks in like it owns the place. “Door was locked? It wasn’t for me.”

What image do you put for when you install the BTRFS driver in Windows (yes it’s real and it works pretty well actually.)
For extra unholy fuckery try installing Windows on the same partition as Linux, if you can load the driver that early. Edit: https://github.com/maharmstone/quibble it is possible. May God save our souls.
I used to run that driver but sadly didn’t want to go through the trouble of making it work with secure boot. It also had some weird issues with things like scrubbing and creating new volumes for me.
Oh I never let Windows touch my partition table anyhow. That’s a Linux job.
Windows: “There is something wrong with that weird drive I’ve just found. Do you want me format it to ‘fix’ it?”
Me: “Alright Windows, your permission to exist on my computer has been revoked.”
What using Windows be like:
Windows: Hey, do you want me to…
Me: Nooooooooooooo!!!
Windows: “OK, I’ll keep asking though just in case you change your mind.”
There was a time when a Linux live CD could dominate a windows install like a porno. But then they started turning on full drive encryption and none of my tricks works anymore :(
ntfs: hey, i got user passwords set up here!
linux: really? never noticed.
Thankfully they can still encrypt Bitlocker if you have the Password
Windows accessing my other Windows installation’s files corrupted my filesystem, how does that factor in?
I’m literally dealing with this shit now.
Windows will sooner kill itself than learn how to play nice with others.
