Linux is the only option.

Not because FOSS is glorious and the most communist your computer can be without violating the DMCA. Though it is also that, and you can seed generously from a machine running Linux.

Not because Linux is much better lately. It is BTW.

Not because using a system that is designed intelligently and respects you as a fucking adult and might not always be easy to use, but won't generally fight you, so solving problems feels collaborative rather than like youre a persecuted victim about to have everything you just learned and built crushed with the next patch feels really good and generally is an improving cool experience. Though, I mean, that should be enough on its own, right?

But because capitalism is in late stage decline and everything it touches is going to turn to shit and exploit you and surveil you and coerce you and infantipize the fuck out of you and you'll have to get on your knees and crush yourself in terrible ways to check your fucking email or you'll have to fight it tooth and nail every god damn inch fighting a different system each time you want to check your fucking email or see a naked picture of a hot person-even one they took for and sent to you directly.

Last time I tried Linux there was no native Google Drive application and none of the third party ones worked properly to sync my files. Has that changed at all?? Don't tell me to stop using Google Drive I'm locked in for work

If you're interested in switching over and that's the only hang up, I can give a few solutions a try on my machine at home this weekend and let you know if there are options for you that might not have come up through forum posts.

I know a lot of times when something gets added and "just works" no one bothers to talk about it so you don't know until you poke around yourself!

That would be incredible. The main thing is that it needs to sync the files from cloud to desktop and vice versa like the first party application does. Most of the work arounds provide remote access to files from the desktop, but I actually need them physically synced on the drive.
