LibreELEC NTFS support through a desktop computer

    LibreELEC NTFS support through a desktop computer. Are there any bugs with mounting and running should I just go to Windows 10 or Windows 11? Or is ntsf support fully working and realiable compared to running windows.

    LE12 uses the 'paragon' authored in-kernel driver which looked good but people started to complain about so there's also an add-on installable option to use the previous NTFS-3G (FUSE) driver which is slower but the same as older LE images and appears to be less problematic. The user experience issue is that NTFS filesystems easily end up in an 'unclean' state and the lack of native fsck tools requires your to reconnect drives to Windows to resolve the drive back into a 'clean' state again.

    LE13 nightlies now use the new in-kernel NTFS3 driver (merged in Linux 7.0) which has proper tools support for fsck.ntfs etc. and we haven't seen complaints from people since switching to that.

    NB: Using a Linux native filesystem type (EXT4, XFS, etc.) avoids all the NTFS issues in all LE versions.
