Bug Hunting in Btrfs
Can this be used? I knew ReactOS would use it natively.

And so it begins. Im debating on weather to go BTRFS or NTFS.
I loose out on BTRFS snapshotting and subvolumes then. And if you look at winbtrefs it’s more than a hobbiest project. It has quite active development progress constantly https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

Uh oh. Used WinBtrfs to run a balance check on the partition with the Linux OS on it and now the drive is locked and it's booting into emergency mode

Can't run game on Steam but runs well on windows
You could try using https://github.com/maharmstone/ntfs2btrfs to convert the drive to btrfs which would probably fix the issue. but even with the Windows driver, the performance is very poor in Windows so if you plan on using Windows anytime soon it might not be practical

Looks like it might be an issue connected with ntfs2btrfs, it's been around since October 2021 and still not solved. Here's the link. Also, im not sure if that's on your side or on Reddit side, but is your config file saved as .txt? If so, rename it to config.ini, maybe it'll help :)
