How to read and write BTRFS partitions on iMac M1?

Good evening everyone,

I am looking for a software to read and write BTRSF partitions with iMac M1.

Does anyone have a software to recommend?

Thanks

I did find a couple of ways to access BTRFS drives on a Mac, but neither is for the faint of heart.


One involves installing Homebrew (which I would never suggest anyone do), followed by a lot of Terminal commands.


The other is a GitHub system plugin project that says right out it isn't stable, but would provide read-only access. You also have to compile the code yourself in order to use it.
