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.
Even Microsoft OneDrive...
We call it OneChive
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 (͡•_ ͡• )
You're absolutely right, official version doesn't exist. The closest thing would be this: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/ My brain was confused with Mega's excellent client. SORRY
I think at best, what you can tell is how many developers Maining linux are on that product's team.
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.
