I have nothing ATM, but I all of the ext(number here) file systems are unsupported. It would be seen in disk management, but unreadable.

Hi there, I was just wondering, are there Linux only compatible type files? I know Mac apps show up as folders when seen through Windows so they're not compatable there, and other things like Windows exe bat files don't work on Mac (obviously), I figure I would ask to see if there's things out there like that for Linux. Thanks

Yeah, there are whole file systems that windows can't read. And BASH scripts wouldn't work on windows.

Do you have a picture so I can understand what you're talking about visually? I want to make sure I see this from the right stand point.

If you format a HDD as ext2/3/4 rather than NTFS, it won't even be readable to Windows (Linux works fine on NTFS too though).

 

There's bash scripts as mentioned above, and various archive file types (.tar.gz, .deb, .dpkg).

 Almost as cool as my temps
