NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁

As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍

...and Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System!

Also NTFS is constantly evolving and it's not the same as 30 years ago.

Microsoft has a replacement called reFS but I don't know what happened to it

It's sorta kinda usable but not really? Its main purpose seems to be causing permanent data corruption in ISCSI storage for Veeam backup appliances.

It's sort of around, but it seems to be more aimed at servers than consumer machines.
