Could I just create my own drive format? - eviltoast

NTFS, fat32, exfat, could I theoretically create my own filesystem? If so would my computer even be able to work with most files or connect to other devices?

    A guy is currently doing this with bcachefs.

    He’s also making life very hard for himself by being arrogant and terrible at communication, but that’s a different story.

      Isn’t he just trying to do things his ways?

        You could maybe describe it that way, but unfortunately that doesn’t work in collaborative projects.

        But I’d also disagree - if “his ways” require him to regularly and publicly shit on the work of other people & to misrepresent issues others have with him, he’s arrogant and a dick.
