I watched this video where they talked about how someone installed Linux on their Google drive. Like, installing everything in Google drive, not finding some Google client. Storing the /* in Drive.
I am currently attempting to do this as well, but with Microsoft OneDrive. I’ll update you all on my progress!
Interesting endeavor…any practical benefits? I would think that even a slow USB 2.0 drive would provide better performance than a cloud-based file system.

That’s not the point of such experiments.
Haha, oh I know and I’m all for trying things for the fun of it! Just wondered if there was a practical benefit of such a setup.
The practical benefit would be the ability to run in an environment that can’t have any storage, but can have an internet connection. I don’t know what environment that is, but I’m sure someone will have it.
And full disk sync, I suppose
Be carefull that they dont install that crowdstrike software automatically onto your installation
Isn’t that a windows problem, as Linux macos are unaffected…
Crowdstrike can be installed in Linux systems, some of them are affected. It doesn’t come, nor necessarily auto update, by default.
You could pxe boot off a local network server and mount your cloud drive to a fileserver that offers it as nfs to the local network…
But… why?
I asked the same question about the Google Drive boot, and the answer really boils down to “because I can.”
