Kernel 5.15 has landed with a new NTFS kernel driver. Tumbleweed users probably already have the new driver. But what about us who use Leap? Will Leap 15.4 include it? Or will we have to wait until the 15.x series is over?
You can use kernel:stable:backport for Leap 15.3 to get the kernel driver ntfs3:
