exfat-fuse: please consider not installing this by default in Tumbleweed
Last modified: 2023-12-07 15:21:05 UTC
Hello, For some time now the kernel has been shipping a proper driver for accessing devices formatted with exFAT that is quite faster than the fuse implementation. Please consider not installing this by default. Thanks.
Rather an adjustment of patterns, I suppose.
A default Tumbleweed install (using GNOME or KDE desktop) both do not auto-install fuse-exfat As it's unclear how you installed you system and what options you picked, it's close to impossible to identify why you got fuse-exfat installed (exfat-fuse, as mentioned in the subject, does not exist as package in tumbleweed) Can you please give some more details about your installation settings?
Hello, As far as I recall, the only thing I did during install was to go into the software selection and tell it to not install KDE PIM and KDE Games. I'm attaching screenshots that I think are interesting. It shows a diff between current system and snapshot number 2 which was right after install. As I read it, the /etc/filesystems file contained the exfat-fuse entry at the point when snapshot 2 was made. Currently, the file does not contain that entry.

Created attachment 871201 [details] Diff between snapshot 2 and snapshot 1 - maybe?

The actual package name is "fuse-exfat".
