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.

They are not the same code. They are completely independent code bases by different devs. ntfs-3g is developed by tuxera, ntfs3 by Paragon. The latter also maintain a proprietary ntfs driver for a long time.
In my experience ntfs3 is a little faster, but also more unstable. ntfs-3g gave me zero corruptions in years, ntfs3 on the other hand needs a
chkdsk
run every few days.Oh my, thank you very much for pointing that out!
I might have to give it another chance, then, perhaps I'll shift my games partition back to NTFS once I can free up enough space.
