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.

I'm surprised at using ntfs-3g these days, but one major difference is that ntfs-3g uses FUSE in userspace.
Paragon has an in-kernel driver that is much faster, although I would expect your distro already includes it.
You can check with something like
cat /boot/config-* | grep NTFS3_FS
