Is defragging still necessary these days/.

Are you on an SSD? Then no.
Are you on an HDD? Well since you don't care about speed anyway, why bother? Buy an SSD you luddite.

only for NTFS

Windows will do it without asking you, just like when it sends your childhood photos to their servers and rape your sister. But hey, you don't have to worry about it anyone. It's all automatic.

Threadly reminder that GNU/Linux file systems do not fragment.

I don't know of this happens to someone else, but defragging adds bad sectors to my laptop's HDD. I use Linux now but when I had Windows 10, the bad sectors started to grow like fast, I caught 100. Never happens with Linux, I look at the number from time to time and it stopped. I really like ext4, keeps my HDD healthy.

Only windows on a HDD need defragging.

They do, but not nearly as bad and only when you are using a large percentage of the disk.

Also, by default EXT4 reserves 5% of the disk for use only by the superuser, which may help a bit as well.
