What can you expect from a company that in 2024 does not yet have a Linux client for Google Drive?

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

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.
