As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install ๐Ÿ‘

Microsoft really really hated open source some time ago. Now they seem to have embraced it, however some still think that might be an attempt to EEE.

Still, I suppose Microsoft doesn't think replacing the Windows default filesystem is a sound investment at this point even if the political resistance to such a change is, supposedly, gone.

Also NTFS is constantly evolving and it's not the same as 30 years ago.

Microsoft has a replacement called reFS but I don't know what happened to it

It's sorta kinda usable but not really? Its main purpose seems to be ~~causing permanent data corruption in~~ ISCSI storage for Veeam backup appliances.

It's sort of around, but it seems to be more aimed at servers than consumer machines.
