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.

So it's gonna be ntfs so it's a matter of handling the permissions in fstab. Because it's not gonna link your user ids from the NTFS files and map them automatically to your UNIX users. So there are options in fstab for that. Easy to look up. For instance maybe your user is 'user' so you're gonna tell fstab to assign everything in a ntfs to partition to 'user'. Except maybe you have media files served by plex media server running under user 'plexmediaserver'. This kind of things.
This is the most technical reply I've read thus far, and I appreciate the information. This seems like something I would've been pulling my hair out over relatively soon.
