NTFS Disk doesn't mount on Ubuntu 24.04

With my new laptop, I got an error each time I wanted to mount an NTFS drive: Error mounting /dev/XXX at /media/UUU/YYY:wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/XXX, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

The solution to that was to blacklist the ntfs3 kernel module in order to let `ntfs3g module to take this into account:

echo 'blacklist ntfs3' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable-ntfs3.conf

Then reboot, et voilà !
