Current state of NTFS compatibility? (reddthat.com)

Hi all. I've used Linux off and on for almost two decades now but most recently in a VM. I'm thinking I might make the permanent switch sometime before Windows 10 EOL. My concern is that I have over 12TB of data spanned across many drives, all in the NTFS file system. How is NTFS compatibility nowadays? For a time, I remember it being recommended to mount NTFS as read only. It seems infeasible to convert my current data to a Linux filesystem. Thoughts?

Edit: I don't have time to reply to everyone but thanks for the information and discussion. I'm looking to rearrange some things on my drives to free up one drive entirely and then perhaps give Fedora Linux another spin on a secondary drive along with Windows on another. If all goes well, maybe Windows will get the boot or um never booted again.

Does anyone know a good Linux live image for diagnosing systems? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

It's not free but I highly recommend Parted Magic. I've been using it since at least 2015.

All I know is LineageOS claims to support devices beyond the date manufacturers do. Graphene stops getting updates the same date the manufacturer sets.

This is pretty much why I never attempted to use something like Jellyfin for the music I, um, accumulated through the years. I use Spotify and Youtube these days.
