On: Windows 11 – There's still nothing worth my time

You say "still" as if NTFS hasn't evolved in that time. It still has a far more capable permissions model than any Linux filesystem.

Raymond called it 21 years ago: when you change the insides, no one notices. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20040525-00/?p=39...

And every time I format a new NTFS, the first thing I do before puting any files on it is set the drive root permissions Everyone = Full control + Replace child permissions with inheritable permissions.

Because I absolutely hate being denied access to my own files.

That is absolute madness. I assume you also recursively chmod 777 everything on your Linux systems?

It's incredibly valuable to not allow anything which runs on your machine to immediately read and write anything, even on a single user system.

You can change permissions later...
