I love FAT32 to pieces but the 4GB file size limit kind of cramps my style Because Microsoft is extracting patent royalties from everyone who implements it and there's no reason to use it over NTFS, ext4, or HFS+/APFS except on resource-constrained embedded systems or where strict compliance with the SDXC standard (which mandates support for exFAT) is required.

suffix posted:i dont think they even care about the patent royalities they just wanted to continue to blackmail phone manufacturers to push winphones hmm... that would make sense considering that they are recently considering adding the exfat patents to their royalty-free patent pool for open-source software to get it merged directly into the Linux kernel now that winphone is a dead platform.
