Re: [PLUG] What's the best way to share a partition between windows and linux in 2017?

I've been using exFat on most of my sd cards and pure-data (not bootable OS) USB drives for quite some time (years?). It hits a good middle ground of being widely supported and fairly simple. Not sure what the legal status is, but I don't worry about it too much. If it's in most every distro's repos now, it must have been legally reviewed at some point.

There is a FUSE implementation of exFAT. Some of my SD cards use the
exFAT filesystem and the FUSE implementation works well.
