MS is ridiculous, corrupting the filesystem is an OS mistake of the first order. Any systems developer should view corruption of a persistent storage system of any kind as totally unacceptable. And in this case the whole filesystem is open source! Meanwhile the open source people built a decent NTFS driver for linux years ago, I haven't seen what specs are released but I assume they needed to fill a few doc gaps to make it happen.

Also other nice people did bundle up ext3 and ext4 into an app you could run on windows to browse and copy stuff from your linux partition years ago.

Now MS finally caves and accepts the defeat of linux being a better experience for devs, so they now 'support' it and can't check that saving files always works?!?

There is no way this only happens for bash history and git repos, some people have files they don't instantly throw on the cloud, or consider half-ephemeral like bash history, in this case you wouldn't be able to just re-clone as a workaround, I'll keep running my desktop linux on my dev machine (although it's not all rosey over there either, I trust it to save my files).
