You can access bitlocker drives from Linux too, it's a bit of a pain but all you need is the recovery key.

    Good to know. Though with how flaky regular NTFS support is, I expect this to be worse still.

    Nah, decryption is easy because it’s based on standards.

    But you’re right about the NTFS support. I only use it to read data from external drives. I tried to use it to have a dual boot setup with a shared Steam library but that had some issues.

    I’ve since completely dumped Windows, problem solved.

    I should do the same. Just remove the dual boot setup and stick with linux.

    Yup.

    I don’t regret it at all and now I have another 2TB SSD for my Steam library. I kept the dual boot setup around for a bit, just in case, but I didn’t use it once in 5 months. So when I needed more storage space, it was an easy choice.
