I’m planning on dual booting Windows and Linux on my computer, but each system from a separate hard drive, but what about my 3rd hard drive (which i use mostly for storing games, videos etc…) Should i use ExFAT? I can’t really use NTFS because Linux can’t write to it.

The snippet from the Google search “What is FUSE Linux” told me that, according to wiki.archlinux.org, it allows a non-priviledged user to “create their own filesystem without editing kernel code”. What does “creating my own filesystem” mean? And what does that have to do with editing kernel code? I’m really sorry for asking questions that are this basic, but it took me 5 years to find a website that explained well enough how to run an exe file with arguments, I’m just not that bright

Before FUSE was available every filesystem driver had to be part of the kernel and adding a driver meant modifying the kernel. With FUSE filesystem drivers can be installed as normal software without the need to modify the kernel.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
