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!
Be carefull that they dont install that crowdstrike software automatically onto your installation

Crowdstrike can be installed in Linux systems, some of them are affected. It doesn’t come, nor necessarily auto update, by default.
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.
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.”
