@jiub yeah!! it's great you can just install linux on NTFS and it Just Works™

(you have to recompile the initramfs on alpine since they don't put the ntfs3 kernel module in it, even though it is in the rootfs)

(you have to pass rootfstype=ntfs3 in the kernel cmdline otherwise arch won't boot)

(other distros probably have other issues)

@tendstofortytwo that's wild! clearly i need to follow kernel development more closely.

now i kinda want to see if it's possible to boot both windows and linux from the same ntfs volume :nkoevil:

@jiub I kinda (?) did that! it was winpe + linux, not windows proper, but I assume that should be possible as well

@tendstofortytwo nice! it seems like it should work since the directories shouldn't conflict. i can imagine having to do some manual bootloader configuration but that's not that big of a deal
