Not sure what the stance is on this one, but afaik exfat should be safe for general usage, just not with proton prefixes.
Gonna leave this as a draft until this is confirmed safe.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the hardware compatibility documentation by adding important clarifications regarding file system usage. It introduces a warning about disabling the NTFS nag service and provides a clearer distinction for exFAT's usability, differentiating between its limitations for gaming and its suitability for general file storage.

Highlights

  • NTFS Nag Warning: Added an informational warning about how to disable the NTFS nag using ujust _disable-ntfs-service, explicitly stating that this action only suppresses the warning and does not prevent data loss.
  • exFAT Usage Clarification: Clarified that while exFAT is generally unsupported for gaming due to its lack of symbolic link support, it remains suitable and safe for general usage such as storing pictures, videos, and documents.

Code Review

This pull request updates the hardware compatibility documentation. It clarifies that exFAT can be used for general file sharing, though it's unsupported for gaming, and adds information on how to disable the NTFS warning message.

My review includes one suggestion to fix minor formatting issues for better readability.

Additionally, per the repository's style guide on pull request titles, the current title docs(exfat): elaborate on exfat could be more descriptive of all the changes. Since the updates also concern NTFS, a title like docs(gaming): Elaborate on exFAT and NTFS usage would better reflect the full scope.

Technically a flash drive that uses FAT32 will also work for scenarios like this, correct?
