Re: NTFS support added to Linux kernel 5.15 a good idea.

Which of course has existed for years ("NTFS-3G"), and most distros bundle it. I have not had any trouble accessing removable NTFS -formatted drives with Linux during the past 15 years or so.
Hopefully the kernel driver works at least as well. In theory, it could have a better performance, but I'm not sure there are use-cases where it matters. For me as a Linux user, copying files on and off removable disks has been the only reason to mount NTFS volumes on Linux, and performance is not much of an issue for such use.
