Yeah, those tend to be pre-folder settings for the File Explorer.
Like View options, thumbnails and such.
It’s been a while for me, but I think there was something specially for thumbnails too.
You might find one if you go into the folder options and set a folder to optimized for pictures/videos and add some to it.
That’s not Linux doing that. It’s the demons in your hardware trying to escape. They normally don’t cause too many issues luckily, but if you don’t close the portals occasionally they can take over your system.
HFS+ has a different features set than NTFS or ext4, Apple elect to store metadata that way.
I would imagine modern FS like ZFS or btrfs could benefit from doing something similar but nobody has chosen to implement something like that in that way.
A Copy on White file system that supports snapshots, supported mostly by
ZFS
Zetabyte File System
Copy on Write File System. Less flexible than BTRFS but generally more robust and stable. Better compression in my experience than BTRFS. Out of Kernel Linux support and native FreeBSD.
HFS+
what Mac uses, I have no clue about this. some Copy on Write stuff.
NTFS
Windows File System
From what I know, no compression or COW
In my experience less stable than ext4/ZFS but maybe it’s better nowadays.

Window adds desktop.ini randomly too

Yeah totally!
frantically searches for the meaning of all those abbreviations
I gotcha:
“Resource forks” IIRC, old stuff. Same for the .DS_Store file.
