It’s concerning that you think “just buy new stuff” is reasonable and that Windows should only work on new hardware out of the box.

I’d guess it’s a cat and mouse game with Google to keep it functional.

Microsoft are deep into the government with exchange and Active Directory with most being migrated to Microsoft365 and Azure.

Add in MS Teams, SharePoint, MS SQL, 30 years of business rules living in old excel macros that ends up running the entire company.

Windows enterprise licences would be a tiny part of their spend and far too costly to mitigate away from. Most large corporations are virtualising old windows version just to keep their existing legacy apps runnings.

I’ll have to look into it. I think my fstab is still referencing ntfs-3g.

Found this:

Note: All officially supported kernels with versions 5.15 or newer are built with CONFIG_NTFS3_FS=m and thus support it. Before 5.15, NTFS read and write support is provided by the NTFS-3G FUSE file system. Or you can use backported NTFS3 via ntfs3-dkmsAUR. Paragon Software, the author of the kernel module, has not yet released userspace utilities for NTFS3. You can use NTFS-3G userspace utilities without NTFS-3G driver via ntfsprogs-ntfs3AUR.
