Google is the new IBM::Years of being one-upped on AI and cracking down on innovation turned the poster child for Silicon Valley cool into a dinosaur.

Do you need it though? i feel like the linux userbase is already fairly low, and the intersection of people who cant do a RW mount with rclone ans uses linux is even lower.

You would be pouring a bunch of money into a development for the 0.001% Userbase

You can tell how passionate a company is with their products by their Linux support. That means no one there cares enough to push hard for Linux support. Even Dropbox has a Linux client.

Valve’s commitment to Linux is why I’ve consistently bought games virtually exclusively through Steam.

I think at best, what you can tell is how many developers Maining linux are on that product’s team.

There is an official Onedrive client for Linux?

Last time I checked there wasn’t and you had to rely on a third-party application, based on MS API (͡•_ ͡• )

Linux desktops now outnumber mac desktops, apparently.

Only if you don’t count mac laptops as “desktop”

“desktop” in general is a much smaller number than it once was, since laptops can do so many of the things people once used desktops for.

I recently did this, and it was fucking annoying to create the app in Google’s Cloud. Incredibly laggy (5-10 seconds until clicks register), loading times of up to a minute between navigations.

This was on a very beefy PC, I suspect the issue is that I used Firefox.

Even if what you said was true, i think the better choice would be to go in the direction of simplicity, not the direction that favours segregation.
