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

        Linux desktops now outnumber mac desktops, apparently.

        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.
