Hi, I’ve been thinking about switching from Win11 to Linux Mint due to Microsoft collecting lots of data. My current setup has been cobbled together over the past decade and consists of a C drive NvME, 1 old SATA SSD, and 2 HDDs. I have games installed across all of the non-C drives, some from steam some not.
Windows tells me each drive by letter. I installed Mint on a virtual machine to get a look, but it couldn’t read any of my files. I don’t want to wipe my C drive without knowing that at least the other drives will be readable if I make the switch.
How does Linux account multiple hard drives? I’m so used to how Windows does it that I’m worried about switching over and losing access to my other drives. Thanks!
They rewrote the in-kernel support for NTFS a while back, and it works much better now. The old driver lacked proper write support and was kind of questionable in general.
