Mounting BitLocker-encrypted NTFS drives as read/write on MacOS Ventura
<p>BitLocker encryption has become a common alternative for securing personal files and is nowadays natively supported by Linux, at least within GNOME. Some additional steps, however, are still required to ensure full MacOS compatibility. This guide describes the necessary steps to achieve it.</p>

<h1>Requirements</h1>
<p>We require three packages: <strong>macFUSE</strong>, <strong>ntfs-3g </strong>(and <strong>brew</strong>), and <strong>dislocker</strong>.</p>
<h2>1/3: Install macFUSE</h2>
<p><a href="https://osxfuse.github.io/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">macFUSE</a> is a compatibility layer, previously known as OSXFUSE, that extends MacOS’s native file system with third-party ones — like NTFS.</p>
<p>Simply obtain the <strong>.dmg</strong> package from the official website (or the <a href="https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">GitHub repository</a>) and install it — it is required for the next steps to succeed. Alternatively, you may try and install it using Homebrew instead:</p>
