I'm leaning toward btrfs. Gonna set it up tonight and test. Is there any major differences from ext4 i should know? I know it has snapshots but i read about if you dont use the right kind of drives it can corrupt data, is thus true or not really something i should worry about?

So i mostly play older games (half life, skyrim, dishonored, etc) i have no issues with the mechanical drive for these. Now admittedly the larger games like skyrim i havent tried on linux only on windows but i dont see why it would be an issue.

I will probably eventually get a ssd for gaming and make the hdd purely for storage.

I have already recorded to this drive from the windows device with no issues. It is not intended to be super high quality tho. I just dont know if running over the network will go as smooth.

Rn, im leaning towards using btrfs bc it seems the performance speed between it and ext4 will be negligible and i will be testing out the driver for windows and obs over the network.

Did you read it at all?

That's disappointing, but mostly i would be plugging it in to windows every once in a while. Whereas i would be running nightly backups when its hooked as a samba drive. Would i need to eject it every time i unplugged? I wouldnt mind that

I got 2 questions. How do permissions work with ntfs on linux. I use rsync a lot to backup to the drive and i've read how exfat doesnt really save all the linux permissions. Likewise from my research in order to run a proton game on a ntfs drive would require symlinking rhe compat directory to my home folder. And i use the home folder for smaller games. I have heard that it may or may not work with ntfs

Hmm i dont have any experience with btrfs but im open to it.

Is speed comparable to ext4? And should i install the driver on windows i could just plug the drive in an it would become accessible without user input?

I've been using insular which is basically the foss version of island

Shadow of the colossus is in my top 10. I just beat last guardian after playing for like 2 years. Struggled getting into it but the other day i decided to power through to the end and i absolutely loved the end. I have high hopes for ico

I'm about to play Ico and Elder Scrolls Online

Yeah i'm mostly a controller player so that works for me. Is it that hard? I've played stone hard games like dmc/dark souls but this seems very different

I think for best games of all time i think fallout new vegas. Its super well regarded amongst bethesda fans but i dont hear it listed as one of the greatest in general and i think i definitely deserves to be up there. The size of the world, the zaney humor, the amount of quests, weapons, amd your effect on the world. There's just so much to this game
