Ok. If someone is interested and for devs,these are the results for my HP 15-r247TU notebook after doing some testing with Remix Os on 'ext4' and 'NTFS' partitions. I used the exact data.img file on both partitions with exactly same apps and app data.
(Remix official installaer for windows has nothing to do with these numbers as i used android-x86 installer to install it first on ext4 partition and then copied the whole installation to a NTFS partition)
(Installed apps : Messenger,Viber,Whatsapp,Hangouts,Fb lite,Skype,imo,Clash royale,Youtube,Gmail,Google maps,Google contacts,Calendar,Ms Excel,Ms Word,Ms Powerpoint,Adobe photoshop express,Text editor)

1)Ram Usage
When system is idle,
RemixOs on EXT4 only uses about 12% of my 4Gb ram while the NTFS one uses 44% when idle

2)Boot time
RemixOs on NTFS has slightly lesser boot time than the one on EXT4. (5 to 10 seconds on mine)

3)System UI stability.
There's a little lag sometimes,when i open notification bar in EXT4. But didn't noticed that on NTFS.

4)Reaction time when openning apps
On EXT4,there's a bit of delay before openning app after i clicked on an icon in app drawer.(particulary for files app). but NTFS installation has little to no delay when openning an app.

Feel free to share your experience here. :)

I confirm that is true
I also tested RemixOS on External HDD/flash drive usb2/usb3 and internal HDD
the result was internal HDD with Ext4/NTFS is 5 times faster

I figure it isn't totally necessary to install on ext4 as the *.img files created are already formatted in ext4

Hey!
I was thinking about installing PrimeOS(similar to Remix OS) in an NTFS partition and I read your post and it was written that you copied the installation to NTFS partition and I wanted to ask you that how can I copy the installation to ntfs?
