I've been feeling inspired by the posts here and on /c/libre and have been switching over to a lot of FLOSS alternatives to software I use. One thing holding me back from switching to Linux is that my PC is how I play games and, as I understand it, most games aren't compatible with Linux so you either can't play them or they need software like Wine. How much of a problem is this really, since I've also heard that Linux gaming has been getting easier over the years.

    My shared drive is NTFS, but that's just because it came that way and I didn't bother to re-format it. Linux can read from it and write to it just fine. Someone else might have a better suggestion though. Don't use the default Linux file systems, Windows can't read them.

      i think the best option i've seen is exFAT, but i forget why i don'l like using that. incompatible with more advanced hard drive setups maybe?
