It’s funny that the same person asking for linux support would complain about B2 “not being for home users”. I sync my own backups to B2 and would set that up over installing linux any day of the week! It’s extremely easy.
What software/workflow do you use for this Linux to B2 backup please?
Not OP, but this is my script: https://gist.github.com/smj-edison/33229537007a73520a26a14a0...
It's been cobbled together over the years to add things I want, like not backing up on battery, or sending a desktop message on success. When I set it up I couldn't figure out how to set up a timer, so it runs when I wake from suspend. I'd probably use a systemd timer in the future though.
I also should probably snapshot my file system before backing up since I'm running btrfs, but I never figured out how to do that either, and this works, lol.
I use restic as well. My script:

Restic + rclone personally, with a wrapper script to glue things together nicely
What's the advantage of additionally using rclone vs. just restic?
