PUFFS (NetBSD)
Pass-to-Userspace Framework File System (puffs) is a NetBSD kernel subsystem developed for running filesystems in userspace. It was added to NetBSD in the 5.0 release, and was ported to DragonFly BSD in the 3.2 release.

FUSE compatibility
In NetBSD 5.0, puffs includes refuse, a reimplementation of the libfuse high-level interface.[1] Some filesystems use the low-level libfuse interface or the kernel FUSE interface and they cannot be supported through refuse.
NetBSD 6.0 addresses that limitation through perfuse, a new compatibility layer that emulates the FUSE kernel interface.[2]

gollark: This is *far* better than Windows.
gollark: * GNU/Linux is GNU/Linux, or as I've taken to calling it, GNU+Linux
gollark: For example, Alpine and Void.
gollark: Speaking unironically for a moment, there are in fact non-GNU Linux distros, although Arch is not one.
