Hey folks, I just finished writing a guide for setting up NTFS drives for Linux gaming. There's been some misinformation and questions on whether it's feasible, but if you set it up right you should be fine.

Hopefully this can help others avoid the pain I've gone through to make it work without issues!

You don't have to use NTFS. In fact, it's not recommended, but the biggest reason you'd want to is if you were dual-booting Windows and wanted to access the same files from both operating systems.
