Is NTFS compatible with Linux?
If you mean a boot partition, neither; Linux cannot boot off NTFS or exFAT. Additionally exFAT is not recommended for most uses because Ubuntu/Linux cannot currently write to exFAT. You don’t need a special partition to “share” files; Linux can read and write NTFS (Windows) just fine.
What filesystem does Linux support?
Linux. Linux supports numerous file systems, but common choices for the system disk on a block device include the ext* family (ext2, ext3 and ext4), XFS, JFS, and btrfs.
