>In particular, BitLocker means that it's harder to share disk space between Windows and an alternative operating system BitLocker is completely optional, even on Windows 11 (although in some cases encryption does kick in automatically - but you can revert it). And if you want to both use BitLocker and share files with another OS, you can easily do it with a separate unencrypted drive or partition.
