Current state of NTFS compatibility?

Hi all. I've used Linux off and on for almost two decades now but most recently in a VM. I'm thinking I might make the permanent switch sometime before Windows 10 EOL. My concern is that I have over 12TB of data spanned across many drives, all in the NTFS file system. How is NTFS compatibility nowadays? For a time, I remember it being recommended to mount NTFS as read only. It seems infeasible to convert my current data to a Linux filesystem. Thoughts? Edit: I don't have time to reply to everyone but thanks for the information and discussion. I'm looking to rearrange some things on my drives to free up one drive entirely and then perhaps give Fedora Linux another spin on a secondary drive along with Windows on another. If all goes well, maybe Windows will get the boot or um never booted again.

    Weed won't be legal in my lifetime. I fully expect regressives to capture the federal government and ban hammer any state that has already made it legal. Maybe it'll be legal in a few thousand years when we're all dead and cockroaches rule the land.

    I'd love to switch to Linux. I've used Linux off and on for almost two decades now. At one point I was triple booting Windows XP, Windows 7, and Fedora. The one thing holding me back is, strangely enough, game compatibility. I know Proton has made huge strides as I've seen it first hand on the Steam Deck, a lovely little machine. The problem is, I have a huge library, and while I'm okay with slightly less than ideal performance here and there on the Deck (40hz mode anyone?), I absolutely refuse to lose any performance due to running Linux. Benchmarks still show some titles losing 5-15% performance when running through Proton.

    Don't get me wrong. I love FOSS. I donate and try to spread the word as much as I can when I find a passion project, and find it particularly useful. Even though this may seem to go against what I previously said, I'm debating on switching to Linux when Windows 10 loses support. I do not want to enable fTPM on my motherboard or update my BIOS if I don't have to. My PC is stable, no thank you. I feel like I'll have to troubleshoot whether I choose Linux or Windows 11. Ugh.

    All I know is LineageOS claims to support devices beyond the date manufacturers do. Graphene stops getting updates the same date the manufacturer sets.

    What does everyone do with their old electronics?

    I've been accumulating old electronics for about a decade now and I really need to safely dispose of them at this point. I know some cities have drop off spots for recycling, but the one near me charges a fee and appears to cater to business clients. Obviously I'm against tossing them in the bin. It's small things, like an old iPod touch, Bluetooth speaker etc. What do you all do with your old Ewaste? Edit: Whew. I'm tired after a long day of...you guessed it...work. Great suggestions in this thread. Thanks y'all!

    Ugh. Dying Light is such a great game. I tried getting into the second one but only got a few hours in. Maybe I should try again. What does this mean for the future of Techland? I only know that Tencent isn't viewed favorably by the majority of concerned gamers but I don't know the specifics of why.

    I'm feeling some of that early internet charm here. That might be part of why I'm a little more active. Still a lurker through and through.

    I've heard good things about Pop. Great video driver support (it's bundled in the install) and it just works out of the box . Fire up Steam and play some games.

    I'm not too knowledgeable on this but I imagine the servers update content or ingest content from other servers at different rates. Some larger instances are under heavy load and some instances may be running older/newer versions of Lemmy.

    Do admins have any say in how content is ordered in the feed? I don't know at all.

    This song and album is great. I was tripping on shrooms recently and started to get some bad vibes until I changed course with this particular song.

    I'm excited for Artemis. I've been using Lemmy and Kbin almost equally. Kbin's default mobile page is highly accessible, more so than Lemmy but I'd prefer an app. Using wefwef for Lemmy and I'm really pleased with it.

    Here's my ultimate selfish survivor build. It's an endgame build (1v1). Wake Up, Sole Survivor, Low Profile, and Left Behind.

    It can be a pain trying to get all the perks you want or think you need. Thankfully, the devs have reduced the grind in the recent years. I have thousands of hours in the game and can remember putting off playing some killers because I didn't have the "right" build.

    I remember the very first Covid shot making it feel as though my arm was kicked by Chuck Norris. Super sore. The boosters weren't so bad. I'll get another jab if it means not catching Covid or just having mild symptoms.

    What's your current build(s)?

    Hey fellow DBD players. Was wondering what build or builds you're currently favoring? For survivor, I've been running what I call the second chance build. It's Adrenaline, Unbreakable, Decisive Strike, and Off the Record. DS and Off the Record are kind of redundant, with Off the Record being much more useful, but it can make for some funny locker stuns. Pair it with Dead Hard for even more laughs ( I suck with DH though). I don't play much killer since switching to a controller (extended mouse use hurts my hand and wrist) but I'll still occasionally play Scratched Mirror Myers. I typically run PWYF, Sloppy Butcher, NOED, and either Deadlock or Nemesis. Of course I'll need to run an indoor map offering but if my map gets nuked by another offering, I still have NOED for some endgame fun.

    This is pretty much why I never attempted to use something like Jellyfin for the music I, um, accumulated through the years. I use Spotify and Youtube these days.
