    Quick disclaimer: with a package named "ntfs-3g", you can write on NTFS partitions on Linux. But it is true that linux can't write on this filesystem without it, probably due to licensing

    • @mgord9518

    Thank you so much man for the beautiful video :-)
    Just one thing to add please, if you gonna use your removable drive e.g. SD or Micro SD card for a camera or a dash cam, it is highly recommended to format it through the device itself that it will be most used for (even if you gonna connect it to your laptop or desktop sometimes) this enhances its speed & durability a lot, and despite FAT32 is the oldest, most of the most recent devices (cams....etc) prefer only FAT32 & won't allow you to do any other format through the device, & really I don't know why?!.
    Again thank you so much man for your beautiful videos :-)
