NTFS isn’t the issue, at least in my experience, and not even Microsoft’s implementation of it (though ntfs-3g seems faster). The issue is the File Explorer: Things like reading mtimes of gigantic directories takes maybe a second under linux, nushell under windows (native, not WSL) is just a tiny bit slower, while File Explorer takes minutes to sort by mtime. Coming to think of it I should try Dolphin.

Generally speaking the problem with Windows is not so much NT but everything on top of it.

We should rename NTFS to OTFS now.

They knew it’s not going to stay new forever, but they went ahead with that name anyway. I guess that’s what happens when the marketing team wins the company raffle.

For real - it would be AWESOME if you could install windows on ZFS or btrfs or whatever

You’d still be running Windows though so why bother
