btrfs can be used in windows with the winbtrfs driver (if you plan to use a games drive between both systems)
sharing just data, ntfs works fine but it is a big no no for games

KKamquat iirc NTFS will do weird crap to file permissions.

If I copy them over and they work should I be good or just download everything to be safe?

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 12:18 AM

copying the game files is fine

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:18 AM

oh ok

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:18 AM

yea

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 12:18 AM

then install via steam and let it validate them

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 12:18 AM

it'll do what it needs to

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:18 AM

no ill delete my message lol

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 12:18 AM

do not copy compatdata to an NTFS drive

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 12:19 AM

that is the problem

Noctis•6/26/24, 12:19 AM

I gotcha

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:19 AM

that would make it easier kinda. dont have to split the TB right?

GGrimRaptor that would make it easier kinda. dont have to split the TB right?

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:19 AM

split the tb?

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:19 AM

they mean partition

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:19 AM

between OSes

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:20 AM

yep

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:20 AM

if its a secondary drive, no

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:20 AM

for the OSes, keep them on separate drives entierly

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:20 AM

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:21 AM

one 512 win11 one 512 bazzite. the tb win btrfs?

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:21 AM

so if that 1TB is being shared for games then no partitions are needed with the winbtrfs driver i assume so you should be good

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:22 AM

yeah 1 partition and use btrfs/winbtrfs and it will be good

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:22 AM

make sure you map your uid and gid correctly in windows

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:22 AM

huh?

GGrimRaptor huh?

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 12:22 AM

read the winbtrfs readme

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 12:22 AM

don't fuck it up

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:22 AM

you want your user SID in windows mapped to gid 1000 and uid 1000 in winbtrfs

Kyle Gospo•6/26/24, 12:22 AM

you will have a bad time

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:23 AM

maybe one day windows will officially support ext4 at the very least

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:23 AM

lol

part of me is thinking that dual partitioning may be easier lmao

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:23 AM

you want uid 1000 and gid 1000

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:24 AM

it is a registry entry, 2 paragraphs + 1 sentence

GGrimRaptor part of me is thinking that dual partitioning may be easier lmao

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:24 AM

idk how much you game between windows and bazzite but personally i rethink this lol

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:25 AM

i have a windows to go dualboot on an external drive made with rufus

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:25 AM

although gaming on an external usb drive is not very fun and neither is loading windows on it

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:25 AM

i was thinking of just using the 512 win drive for the school stuff and the other 1.5TB for linux

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/26/24, 12:25 AM

i rarely use it though i guess, idk but yeah depends on how much you game between the two

GGrimRaptor i was thinking of just using the 512 win drive for the school stuff and the othe...

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:26 AM

that will work fine, you can still access the data in windows from linux

Janier•6/26/24, 12:26 AM

You can also split the 1tb drive

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:27 AM

yea but @nickname was right

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:28 AM

on the bazzite install since im thinking of ussing 1.5 TB for it should i install it on both drives? or just one and format the TB?

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:29 AM

you want 1 drive for bazzite, 1 drive for windows
windows does not like the linux bootloaders and will at random just replace it or put itself first in the boot order

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:30 AM

ok. one win 512 one bazzite 512.

Janier•6/26/24, 12:31 AM

Microsoft cleaning the competence

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:31 AM

now the TB? format it then i load up bazzite? using gparted or whatever

GGrimRaptor now the TB? format it then i load up bazzite? using gparted or whatever

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:32 AM

you can format it from inside the bazzite install when its finished

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:32 AM

ok.

GrimRaptor•6/26/24, 12:34 AM

sorry if im bugging you guys and gals

HikariKnightOP•6/26/24, 12:34 AM

its ok
