What does HackerNews think of uefi-ntfs?

Huh, interesting. I know he'd been working on it for a while and wasn't getting anywhere because of Microsoft, but apparently he finally got it working. The only real issue is getting your bootloader signed by MS. There's no other way to pass Secure Boot verification.

Edit: https://old.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/pl2jqg/creating_b... This is the last time I read anything about it from the Rufus dev (which was over a year ago)

By the way, Rufus uses UEFI:NTFS [1]

> UEFI:NTFS is a generic bootloader, that is designed to allow boot from NTFS or exFAT partitions, in pure UEFI mode, even if your system does not natively support it. This is primarily intended for use with Rufus, but can also be used independently.

I think it would only work if your UEFI firmware happen to contain a driver for reading NTFS partitions. UEFI firmwares are only required to read FAT12/FAT16/FAT32. Rufus solves this by making an extra FAT partition with a UEFI:NTFS [1] binary which loads its own NTFS driver to boot the Windows `bootmgfw` EFI binary.
