Google Drive still doesn't work on Linux.

So much big tech shit just didn't care about Linux and it's even worse in Asia and industry where up to now you might as well grow three heads before you suggest not using Windows.

It'll eventually change, but at least in China it'll probably be an even more closed down Huawei or similar OS rather then Linux. Neither WeChat or the commercial variant have Linux support, and at least the latter doesn't seem to have a PWA alternative. So I have a VM that absolutely destroys fan and battery life.

They only care to the point it is a cheaper UNIX, that is how its adoption took off in the dotcom wave, sponsored by big tech in first place, and only because there was a big question mark regarding BSD back then.
