    Most distributions either have or make it very easy to have the NTFS drivers. And they are useful for occasional use.

    But WTF? For your computer's main file system?

    The NTFS drivers are reverse engineered from an undocumented proprietary spec. Those drivers are maybe safe. Like having a Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

    And the same story goes for HFS+ drivers. Occasionally useful for quick temporary compatibility with some media. But not for a system's filesystem.

    The title of the poll is "what is you computer's file system?". The computer may be a Mac (HFS+) or for the really unfortunate, Windows (NTFS). It is reported that there are people that run those, believe it or not.

    I hear that there's some weird niche operating system from a little company in Redmond that uses NTFS as its default filesystem. I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but maybe that's what people are using?

    I would love to know where on the spectrum you fall...
