Of course windows does not properly support the one disk format they use. I did even use NTFS for a while cause the ntfs-3g driver has an option to force lowercase. Now I have upgraded to EXT4 with case folding.
I can’t be certain they mean the filesystem or if she’s asking for the external drive, which for many people is the D drive. Also that it can be passed around implies it’s external too. Cause who only has one drive formatted as ext?
Can confirm, my NTFS hardrive broke every week on my server. Unfortunately that is my only hard drive so I cannot format it without loosing all the data.
Yes, I have to use NTFSfix or plug it into a windows laptop, it is very annoying.
But my setup is fairly janky though. I use a external drive on my homeserver as storage drive, and because of torrenting it is almost constantly on read/write. And I use a ubuntu LTS server, so it might not be the most friendly os to use with a NTFS drive. But there is no going back now.
I don’t know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive. Why do you insist on having EXT?
Because ext supports proper access rights from actual operating systems.
I GNU you were gonna say that, sick burn dude

NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851

Having a NTFS partition is what’s wrong with your hard drive.

What specifically do you mean by “broke”? File system corruption?

Are you using the NTFS3 kernel module instead of the FUSE driver?
I am not really knowledgeable about OS and kernel, I just use the default for ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
