Finally ready to switch my final windows device over to linux, but I'm running into a problem. NTFS drives aren't a good idea under Linux, but my 4 NTFS drives are this full. I own zero extra hard drives, and do not want to spend $300 on another one.

How can I bring these files into Bazzite WITHOUT just wiping everything and re-downloading 10+ terabytes of movies, shows, music, games, and other data I refuse to delete?

    the mount points are

    • root: /
    • homes: /home
    • media: /srv/media (if not sharing on network then /var/share is a more sane place, if only for one user then /home/username/media or something
    • games: /opt/games
    • mail: /home/myusername/mail
    • archive: /srv/archive
