It used to be you could find a box of photos or keepsakes that you inherited to look back on how things were or when you were a kid. Now, most of that is stored on phones, and most parents probably don’t think to share or save them in a way to be passed down in the future.

    I don’t care what Windows uses, but you think windows would actually support another format? They’ve used NTFS forever, and ReFS hadn’t really taken of despite its intro around server 2012 & windows 8. Sure it has WSL but idk they’ll support ZFS that much.

    I have been relieved they started supporting the open document format in recent Microsoft 365 desktop software.

      and your point is? never said anything about what windows uses. doesn’t matter either.

      but you think windows would actually support another format?

      I do not think, I know.

      https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

      https://github.com/RaldS7/btrfs-windows

      https://github.com/Mateuscruz19/Ext4Windows

      but this point also does not matter whatsoever at all, because in my original comment I said nothing about using ZFS on windows.


      points that actually matter were not addressed by you, so whatever. good for you that you could pick on points that don’t matter.

        Both BTRFS projects haven’t been updated in years. And the ZFS on Windows project has quite a few caveats, and it doesn’t look like there’s not much work or progress happening there.

        Ultimately, I would never trust Windows with those filesystems. It can barely keep its own things stable, and running a filesystem as a userland process isn’t ideal.

        you will probably be able to make use of that even from your monthly subscription windows 12.

        btw, there is zfs for windows too.

        You literally said it TWICE in your comment. Why else would I have replied to it??

        Also, someone porting ZFS does not make it officially supported, so again, the vast majority of average Joe users will not know or understand ZFS as I stated before.
