Hey guys im relatively beginner to linux and I wanted to switch from windows because i program and stuff and I just wanted a change right. installation was fine and everything but I cant play any of my games that are stored on my hard drive because the hard drive is ntfs and I guess thats just something I cant do? I asked ai and it said I just had to format the drive which I REALLY cant afford to do theres a lot of stuff and I'm not sure i can back it up either, I tried putting the 700gb of stuff onto google drive but Ill be old by the time that's done. Anyone have solutions?
