Closed DarkXero-dev closed 5 months ago

DarkXero-dev commented 5 months ago

Hey

I noticed you added NTFS as selectable FS type Here .. Why ? Selecting will result is unbootable system unknown flesystem type.. Tested it last night.. Maybe more needs to be done ? I am lost as to why one would select such a crappy FS for Linux xS

Feel free to correct me if am wrong..

It's intended for the root file system, shared partition - or as a preparation for future dual-boot. :)

We did hide it behind the a --advanced flag historically to avoid easy mistake from beginners as you mention.

Ahh yess I know that but then why hide parallel downloads behind advanced then ? Unhide it so users don't have to use advanced n make any mistakes lol..
