It’s a Microsoft network filesystem. They’re probably telling you: don’t leave your games on an old Windows computer and try to remote mount the drive with NTFS; if you do, you’ll be sorry. Re-install the games on Linux.
It’s not a network file system. It’s a regular file system for hard drives, SSDs and such, which is used by default on Windows since Windows NT (that’s where the NT comes from - it doesn’t stand for network but “new technology”).
The implementation in Windows is closed source meaning the file system had to be reverse engineered to even work at all under Linux. Support nowadays is okay-ish, but as soon as you don’t properly shutdown your computer or use the file system under Windows, you will run into weird problems.
Also it just straight up doesn’t work for most games running under wine.
Wtf also, “NT” in “NTFS” does not mean “network”, holy shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
Well, I didn’t say “NT” stood for “network”, but you’re right that I was wrong about it being a network filesystem.
I’m glad you’re so passionate about people being wrong!
I didn’t really mean to sound mad, sorry.
Naw, I didn’t think you were mad; it was funny that you sounded so shocked that someone on the internet could be wrong.
NTFS has nothing to do with the network. Maybe you’re thinking of NFS? But natively Windows uses SMB.
Wtf? NTFS is the NT File System.
For some reason my phone ate the “nothing” in “NTFS has nothing to do with the network”. I’ve put it back.
Ahh got it. I was just confused for a moment 😁
