False. I believe modern Linux desktop distributions mounts NTFS drives by for RW by ntfs-3g out of box.
- jmrm 5y agoTotally correct. The several distros I've tryed in the last 10 to 15 years have no problem handling NTFS partitions and any kind of data in them.
- glandium 5y agoIIRC, the bad read-only NTFS support was the one in the Linux kernel. NTFS-3g has been adequate, albeit maybe on the slow end, for a long time. At least I remember having used it successfully more than a decade ago.
