The fact they are even talking to MS about a free driver is the *wonderful* part.

Legal according to whom? Are a lot of existing drivers somehow illegal? Having a legal Linux driver is *good* news. It seems reasonable to expect them to pay. They are part of the industry that advocated, or silently approved this standard. Just like you can’t play all multimedia content out of the box right now.Īdditionally, if and when most cards start using ExFAT then OEMs won’t exactly be ‘insisting’ on using it, which is a bizarre choice of word.

If distros had to pay, they would obviously not install this driver and you’d have to install it separately. How do you expect a distribution to ‘pay up’ for licenses? Do you use a free distribution as many do? Whoops. Wasn’t that subverted when they standardized on this crap? If it’s either this or no support at all, I’d rather pick this.

Well, no it isn’t because that completely subverts the whole point of open source software – the ability to create freel developed, freely available and freely used implementations.

Isn’t it a good thing? It keeps the possibly contaminated code out of the kernel. The worrying thing about this is that when someone else proposes an in-kernel driver, as will inevitably happen, then this ‘deal’ will be used as a rod to beat that project as well. We’ll deal with them directly.”įUSE drivers are not exactly the best way of ensuring that you can handle a particular filesystem. If you’re a user, you don’t need to worry about Microsoft. He added: “We’ll be licensing our Linux NTFS under the GPL, and we have an agreement with Microsoft. Our open-source NTFS driver has been available for 10 years, and our commercial driver for two.” “Microsoft has never publically said anything about patent issues with NTFS. VÃ¤limÃ¤ki claims there are no patent issues with NTFS. The proprietary one has additional features making it a better fit for certain specific purposes. When it comes to NTFS, Tuxera has a dual-licensing scheme, producing an open source variant and a proprietary one. “We’re talking to Microsoft about an open-source exFAT driver, but that’s not covered by the agreement,” VÃ¤limÃ¤ki said, “We cannot sell end-user proprietary drivers, we can only sell exFAT on Linux to OEMs at present.” Tuxera is also talking with Microsoft about the possibility of an open source exFAT driver for Linux. “The confidential Intellectual Property Agreement is basically about patents and giving us access to some Windows source code,” Tuxera chief executive Mikko VÃ¤limÃ¤ki told ZDNet UK, “ExFAT is part of the forthcoming SDCX standard for flash cards, and we’ll be selling our driver to OEMs for devices like cameras.”

They are in talks with Microsoft about an open source exFAT driver. How do I fix this error message when I input the correct password to my vault? When I put in the incorrect one this doesn't happen.The Finnish company behind the open-source file system NTFS-3G, Tuxera, has announced it has signed a confidential intellectual-property agreement with Microsoft about creating a Linux exFAT driver which they will sell to Linux OEMs. That problem is solved by running MacFUSE on the Intel Mac to share a volume, which I mount from the Apple silicon. Strangely enough, MacOS does not provide a native way to cd to a remote machine in a command shell. The solution there was to continue to run Windows on my old Intel MBP15 machine, and use Apple Screen Share VNC service to present that screen on one of the monitors hosted by the Apple silicon Macbook. What are the reasons that many embedded development tools are only available on Windows? (historical reasons, technical reasons, etc.) And then type the address you got into the file browser on the deck the exact same way they show it for a windows machine.Īlternatively if you have a SD reader you can plug in. Lol Network sharing should be pretty easy to setup just follow the instructions on this link. This is the real answer to your problem then. How long does it take to unpack on a game on steam deck? Does internal memory limit how fast it’ll unpack?
