NTFS SD auto mount
Hi,
I am trying to use and NTFS SD card (previously used in windows) in Bazzite OS. It seems that it is mounted as
fuseblk file system. The problem is that this system seems to convert all file paths to lower case, which results in issues where certain apps cannot find them.
For example:
I create a folder, named AAAAAAA, it is displayed briefly like that, then in a second or so it is renamed to aaaaaaa. This causes issues in games and software (like EmuDeck, for example).
Is there a way to fix this without re-formatting the SD card? I want to retain my existing files on this card and also i want it usable on windows machines.
There is this github page from steam, where they seem to address similar issue:

We cannot support nor recommend using NTFS for any linux gaming setup.
For sharing, BTRFS and the WinBTRFS driver can provide a better experience
