From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I bought Microsoft NTFS for Linux by Paragon Software for a linux version of chkdsk. It also includes "ufsd" a somewhat redundant driver for reading and writing ntfs. (I already had ntfs-3g) What are the differences between ufsd and ntfs-3g?

I wonder even what's point of buying it? And isn't NTFS 3g is open source version created by community by reverse engineering ntfs

EDIT: if anyone need paragon tools for checking NTFS I can share them easily I extracted them from their apk which they were selling on Google play and there tools for almost any architecture x86,MIPS,arm

I think it is but some distros already come with ntfs support and there is no point in buying it
