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.

Now I want to try that though. As long as it's baked in to the kernel it should theoretically work..
just change to ext4 bro. it is de-facto standard of Linux and it is very stable
Wubi will get you that Windows + Linux in the same partition achievement.
Btrfs ftw, ext4 is outdated af

Lots of different drivers, basically all reverse engineered. Different actions supported, macOS doesnt give a f* and just supported read (at some time some user wrote that) and Linux had no support for some advanced functions that are unstable.
The latter scenario could lead to a filesystem being corrupted and thus not usable, as it has no full compatibility.
Like, it is probably possible but just no. You are using reverse engineered drivers and there are better alternatives that are more stable (nouveau, Asahi, always exceptions).
The new kernel driver is a mess and isn't really being maintained. The FUSE driver is the only one that's actually usable and even then, it can cause corruption in certain conditions. It's still best to mount read only whenever possible.
You guys are misunderstanding the purpose, I don't want to (necessarily) get a stable system out of it, I want to watch how it fails over time.
