            The best part about this is that the keyboard company likely followed tutorials for building their device drivers and never substituted the default image (which is a fictitious company called Fabrikam):

            https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/identity-lifecycle-manager/ms694611(v=vs.85)

            And someone is now selling attire under the Fabrikam name with just the page title as “Microsoft”

          You probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).

            When I started using Linux in 2004, /cdrom was the mount point for CD/DVD drives on Debian.

                Yeah, but I have nothing against Debian. At the time, my family was on dialup, so being able to order the entire apt repo on 7 CDs was very handy. Back then, the default kernel didn’t include sound drivers… fun times!

                I recently returned to Debian (unstable) on my Linux laptop and it’s been nice.

          Lol the best part about that is, it spawned from floppy disks. It hasn’t changed. And there’s no official docs on why. Instead search results are literally StackOverflow and forum questions on why it’s not a thing.

        Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go

            Btrfs with compression can substantially “increase” capacity of your USB stick. IIRC I managed to fit 20-30% more data on 64Gb stick than its maximum capacity!

        Everything uses FAT32. ATMs, the fare machine on transit systems, the sorting system at your post office, traffic lights, nuclear power control systems. Literally everything that isn’t a Unix, MacOS, or a Windows machine uses FAT32. All that stuff has worked for decades and will probably keep working for decades more.

              No that’s a Google search. Which mainly displays external name cases which expose name over usb/thunderbolt. Which in case of usb4 is exactly the same way an internal nvme works, via pcie.

        Akshually

        NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851

          Of course windows does not properly support the one disk format they use. I did even use NTFS for a while cause the ntfs-3g driver has an option to force lowercase. Now I have upgraded to EXT4 with case folding.

        I can’t be certain they mean the filesystem or if she’s asking for the external drive, which for many people is the D drive. Also that it can be passed around implies it’s external too. Cause who only has one drive formatted as ext?

      Having a NTFS partition is what’s wrong with your hard drive.

        Can confirm, my NTFS hardrive broke every week on my server. Unfortunately that is my only hard drive so I cannot format it without loosing all the data.

            Yes, I have to use NTFSfix or plug it into a windows laptop, it is very annoying.

            But my setup is fairly janky though. I use a external drive on my homeserver as storage drive, and because of torrenting it is almost constantly on read/write. And I use a ubuntu LTS server, so it might not be the most friendly os to use with a NTFS drive. But there is no going back now.

              Are you using the NTFS3 kernel module instead of the FUSE driver?
