Linux and Windows use mutually exclusive permission/ACL bits, even on the same NTFS filesystem.

    I think they use extended attributes in NTFS to provide the Linux file system permission. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/file-permissions https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/file-permission...

      That was WSL v1. WSL v2 is a full blown VM and the filesystem is native ext4 and lives in an image file.

  If Linux would just adopt NFSv4 ACLs, there'd be nothing mutually exclusive about it, but instead perfectly in tandem.
