It has nothing to do with files on the device it has to do with the file system type.
Please read about the different type of file systems and support for those. exFat is not native to Linux.
I have reasons for it that I’m not going to explain. Please only answer if you are going to help.
exfat is native supported by linux kernel since 5.8 or so …
It6 should not be a problem to use it on external drives for data storage, also it is so called made for flash drives…
What can be and issue is that after mounting/using them on windows the ycould stay in unsafe state or tehrte is a confusion with filerights/permissions or even utf8 issue…
But to remind everyone and the initial poster in particular …
Be friendly and non-offending to others.
People want to help but… they do by free will and for the fun of it.

If you would have said this when I first asked why do you have them on exFat I would have bid you good luck and a nice day. Instead you ignored the question and still wanted help?
However I wish you the very best in resolving your issue.

But in my first post, someone said that exFAT doesn’t support permissions. Is that right?
it is not about permission ingeneral it is about that you can not set permission from Linux commands you need to set them onto the boot options you use…
1000 should be your users uuid numbe rif you do not change that… cat /etc/passwd | grep /home
nofail,default,fmask=133,dmask=022,uid=1000,gid=1000
but from what you report it is all failing to mount properly i mean both ntfs and exfat are mounted read only? in case of ntfs and the windows system partition it can be an issue with fast boot or unclean device state and same for exfat i bet… could be the ywas mounted ond not 100% synced while reboot from windows
[otto500206@OttosPC ~]$ cat /etc/passwd | grep /home
otto500206:x:1000:1000:Osman E.:/home/otto500206:/bin/bash
So, it is 1000!
I already disabled fast boot even before installing EndeavourOS. And no, internal NTFS drives are working fine!
Update: Mounting from Dolphin makes them read-write. But KDE Partition Manager can’t do it. Plus, it also doesn’t works with NTFS too, I managed to mount them using the same method and they are now read-write too. Kinda weird that the issue was with KDE Partition Manager…
But I still don’t understand why Dolphin and terminal can mount them fine when KDE Partition Manager can’t. Plus, Dolphin weren’t mounting when I first opened the post…
