NTFS does not have the permissions structures Linux native filesystems have. All sorts of problems come from using NTFS for executable files. That said, exfat seems better in a bunch of ways, maybe try that?

Thanks, I'll try a small exFAT this week and see if that works better!
How did you go? Any luck?
Currently snowed with marking - hoping the weekend will grace me with some time to tinker and test.
Yes - there's a workaround for this. I install games onto NTFS drives all the time. You just need to symlink the Steam compatibility folder on your main drive to the one on the NTFS drive. It's called the Proton NTFS workaround
Not what you asked, but i switched my wife to OnlyOffice and she can't find much difference betweenit and MS. For myself and most importantly, I switched my work system to OnlyOffice and my coworkers haven't had any issues with files I shared with them.
@ragepaw @HexesofVexes I have noticed some formatting and sizing differences, do you usually create in OpenOffice and pass to word users or the other way around? Which format do you use to interop? I’d love my coworkers to ditch MS Word.
If you are talking about OpenOffice, that’s different. The other user suggested OnlyOffice, so try that and see if the formatting issues are there too.
OnlyOffice, not Open Office. OnlyOffice strives for Office compatibility.
No issues yet whether I create docs, or other users do.
