    It’s best practice to keep it separate, and that mostly just has to do with how the different file systems are handled.

      This. The problem is Windows can’t read ext4 or Btrfs, and though Linux can handle NTFS, it isn’t great.

      When I was first switching to Linux a few years ago, I did have a shared library using NTFS. It mostly just worked, but the occasional game would refuse to start, and I had no issues once I was no longer using NTFS.
