What can you expect from a company that in 2024 does not yet have a Linux client for Google Drive?

Just use rclone. Its bidirectional sync is kinda meh last I tested it, so I do manual syncs in each direction. Otherwise its awesome. Can even encrypt your stuff with your own key.
Supports a bunch of backends. There is an androind client called Round Sync with cron-like scheduling to keep my phone backed up.
To be fair, they barely have a Windows client. I’m constantly having issues with it
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
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.
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.
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.
