Is there any way to mount APFS partition read only or read/write on Linux or Windows?

These are my everyday use tools on my hackintosh.

Install libfsapfs-utils (tested in Ubuntu 20.04)

1. Mount APFS partition 3 of /dev/sdd in a directory /mnt

fsapfsmount -f 1 /dev/sdd3 /mnt

where, -f file_system_index (mounts a specific file system)

2. Unmount APFS partition mounted in the directory /mnt

fusermount -u /mnt

I didn't test it myself, but it seems that a commercial solution is available (currently read-only):

The page doesn't say much, not even the price, though.

Paragon now has driver with full Read/Write support:

(it's not free though)

There is a dedicated linux-apfs driver, which even has experimental write support:

If you are on Arch Linux or a derivative, you can install it from the AUR.
