How is slate-ntfs different from NTFS-3g and the NTFS 3.1 kernel implementation?

-First of all, slate has a fuller VFS implementation, allowing Steam to see drivers natively. This means that Steam can see drivers directly, without direct intervention.

-User API: comes with an API to easily get driver manufacturer. Has Python, C and Rust support.

-Rust driver, C adapter: can be used with kernels as old as 5.15 while preserving memory safety.

-This code also runs on ARM64 (not fully tested)!

I still do some sneakernet file sharing with a Windows user where BitLocker support would be nice (we currently use VeraCrypt).
