You don't want to do that. MacOS support for any modern filesystem (i.e. not crappy exFAT) that is not its blessed proprietary format, is likely to be bad or non-existent - at which point you have to install some shaky extension from a third party... The chances for anything to go Very Wrong are high. It's even worse than with Windows. The best way to share files with a proprietary system is to go through some sort of network, i.e. NAS, smb, etc.

That's just bad advice. You can mount HFS+ from Linux just fine.

  It's APFS by default for the last few versions of macOS, though, right?
  - vulcan01 4y ago
    Correct, it is APFS since 10.12 or 10.13 (so, 6 or 7 macOS versions/years).
  - coldtea 4y ago
    Yes, but HFS+ is fully supported read/write for a mount.

This is completely wrong. ZFS works very well via O3X [0]. I ran my home folder off of ZFS on various Mac Pros for ~11 years. ZFS works well in Linux and FreeBSD as well. ---- 0: https://openzfsonosx.org/ https://openzfsonosx.org/
