Indeed. As someone who sometimes uses multiple operating systems, all
the solutions for a shared filesystem seem to come down to FAT32 or
exFAT if you want something to pass between Linux, Windows, and OS X.
NTFS seems the next logical candidate. ext4 would be okay too for OS X
if you buy the Paragon software extension, though I loathe that solution.
I really wish there were one modern filesystem for sharing data,
including support for disk-wide encryption, that were supported across
all three systems. I mean it's 2020!
Oh well.
