Well this wasn’t on my bingo card for 2025… There is now yet another NTFS file-system driver for Linux. There’s long been the read-only NTFS driver in the Linux kernel, the more capable NTFS FUSE driver in user-space, and then in recent years the NTFS3 driver that was upstreamed to the Linux kernel by Paragon Software. NTFS3 offers read/write support and other improvements over the prior kernel driver. Now there is “NTFSPLUS” as a new driver with read/write support and claiming to offer better performance and features than NTFS3.
Damn, I hadn’t seen the community name before reading the title and thought Microsoft was fixing up their filesystem. Of course, there’s more development happening on the non-Microsoft side.

Let me guess, it’s written in Rust… wait no, it’s in C. Does that mean no controversy? :-\
Not yet released, right? Being worked on?

What? The author posted the code as patch set to review. That’s literally what the article is about.
Okay then I understood it correctly, thank you ever so much. :-P
