I wish we could just get one good open, unified filesystem that all OS's support. It sucks that if I want a usb drive to function on both Android and Linux, I have to format it to FAT. That pos fs can't even store files over 4 gigs.
I normally prefer copyleft licenses, but this is one case something more permissive seems appropriate.
Personally, I enjoy having multiple options and being able to choose what meets my needs best.
FAT(ty)
Honest question: I thought this limitation was the purpose of exFAT? π€
I don't use it much myself though so I'm not sure.
exFAT seems very fragile and likes to corrupt often, MacOS especially likes to break it
Maybe? All I know is the other day I used my Debian pc (gnome) to format a usb drive as fat, thinking that'd be the most compatible and hassle free fs for storing and transferring files. Then I got an error that I couldn't store Champions of Norrath on it because it couldn't store files over 4 gigs. So for now I just am using ext4.
practically begging for someone to post the competing standards xkcd
