From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

sounds like my worries about NTFS reliability in Linux are more about historic reputation so I can probably relax on that front. The other issue with NTFS is performance in Linux is not great. FAT32 and exFat don't like some filename characters from linux from what I read.
WinBTRFS is tempting. I have frequent backups so I might just give it a try and see what happens.
The NTFS3 driver in the kernel is about as fast as Ext4 ( and faster than Btrfs ).
Fuse driver of ntfs-3g yes it's slow but if configurate to use ntfs3 it's same fast as in windows
Didn't know about ntfs3 so did some reading about it. There are some reports of corruptions, they were all fixed by letting windows do a chkdsk, and making sure the windows_names parameter when mounting the disk helped prevent problems.
I'm going to live with ntfs3 for a while as see what happens.
I use NTFS with Linux a lot, and have for years. The only issue I've ever had was Linux not being able to recover it properly after unsafely disconnecting it, but Windows fixed it just fine
