  • btrfs

    WinBtrfs - an open-source btrfs driver for Windows

  • You mean WinBtrfs? I just might, thanks for letting me know about it. I swapped over to BTRFS when Fedora did and this seems pretty full featured and active. I know there are drivers for mounting other filesystems in Windows but so far I've been more comfortable trusting Linux (NTFS-3g) to handle NTFS than vice versa.

  • dislocker

    FUSE driver to read/write Windows' BitLocker-ed volumes under Linux / Mac OSX

  • You could use dislocker (https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker) but I do not consider it trustworthy. I would not let it write to a NTFS partition that actually contained important data. I just wondered, because Paragon likely delivered a product close to enterprise quality standards incl. testing, how they handled this.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • repo

    Arch Linux CN Repository

  • there's a binary package in archlinuxcn repo. (from what I see this repository is maintained by very well known people like Felix Yan so I guess it's OK to use it)

  • ntfs2btrfs

  • I pretty much always use the latest kernels when I can with Btrfs. I use arch atm, so I'm on 5.12. The bug I was referencing is this one: https://github.com/maharmstone/ntfs2btrfs/issues/23
