Winbtrfs has some really funky bugs (some apps like Aseprite will somehow make files which get padded up to the minimum file size on disk which breaks things, even though it doesn't do that on NTFS or FAT), is way slower on Windows, the extra permissions make managing it annoying, and symlimks generally just don't work on both Linux and Windows at the same time no matter the FS which can occasionally be annoying. I really wouldn't bother with winbtrfs for games
ah too bad, I thought I finally had a solution for the lack of storage.. I'll probably do it anyway just in case I need quick access to one Linux game but the rest of the time I'll keep them on the ntfs
