I recently renamed a few movie files to something with ':'. That worked fine on Linux, but lead to some issues on windows. With a lot of errors from next cloud for file sync and me not being able to rename them without booting back to Linux. Fun stuff

if you're using samba file sharing across OS's (like you should) you should use something called catia:mappings in order to solve that problem. It means shit like colon will be mapped to a different character, but there are some sane mappings out there that you can use.

It wasn't a file share, I have one of my drives mounted in Linux and in Windows as a general storage drive in a dualboot system

oh, that's rough. Yeah no i would still recommend using samba for that tbh.
