Description : This driver is an exFAT file system implementation with write support. exFAT is a simple file system created by Microsoft. It is intended to replace FAT32, removing some of its limitations. exFAT is a standard FS for SDXC memory cards.
These utils/progs packages seem to be the same thing. Are they? Which should I install for making and maintaining USB sticks that both Win10 and Linux like? Other than exfat-utils has a newer latest release on github, what's the difference? Is fuse required additionally, or instead? Is it only intended for use with older kernels lacking exfat support?
I can answer for Leap.

You can see that those two contain different files.
Now I install "exfat-utils", and see what it contains. [...] Well, I can't:
No provider of 'exfat-utils' found.
I would have to add repo "filesystems". So this one is on you: you install it, and tell me what it contains :-)
