NTFS, fat32, exfat, could I theoretically create my own filesystem? If so would my computer even be able to work with most files or connect to other devices?

    Yes, but it would probably be a multi-decade, career-defining project if you want it to be any good. It would likely work with all files since it’s all just data once you get to the FS level anyway, but other devices would need an appropriate driver (that you would also need to write) in order to use it.

    Note that I’m not an expert in this field, so others should correct me if I’ve got something wrong here.

      Oh don’t worry, knowing me, I would create it, use it for a single drive and never touch it again. Its the fun of creation that counts. Also, I quite like my wife.

      Also, once you finish your filesystem, don’t murder your wife or otherwise people will stop using it.
