Hey everyone! It's great to be back and I'm excited for the new year. I recently set up a Linux Mint machine alongside my Windows 11 setup. I'm wondering about transferring files, specifically NFTs, from my NTFS drives to an ext4 drive on my Linux machine. Since Linux can read NTFS, can I just copy files between the two drives without any problems? I'm contemplating this approach but would love some confirmation or alternative suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!

You can definitely copy files between NTFS and ext4 drives without any issues. If you don't have any specific needs that require using Linux filesystems, sticking with NTFS is perfectly fine for now.
Just a heads up, NTFS might perform slower on Linux compared to ext4, especially if you're running games or media applications. If you're looking for speed, ext4 might be the way to go once you're fully transitioned to Linux.
Good to know you're aiming for a pure Linux setup! Just keep in mind that there are some performance differences between NTFS and ext4. If you face any issues with file access or speed later, it might be worth considering making the switch to ext4.
