I see. Frustrating that I don’t recall the program giving any kind of warning or message that what I was trying simply would not work. I guess this is something a “real” Linux user would know.
No, you’re right to be frustrated. The support materials don’t explain it clearly at all, and finding out why NTFS isn’t supported is an ordeal. Steam should totally throw up an error message that explains the problem.
Drag prefers Linux because on Linux it’s actually possible to do everything right and have a perfect experience. It isn’t easy, it takes a lot of know-how and it’s best to be active on a support forum. But you can theoretically get it working perfectly. Windows? Not so much. Microsoft can decide to break your install basically whenever they want. Your knowledge isn’t an absolute factor, sometimes doing what you want is just impossible.
