10 years since Google said to “hang tight” about Linux support for Google Drive
I just want to collect the major options for Google Drive on Linux in a single comment, since a few options are scattered around:
Insync works well, and it's 50% off for a couple more days: https://www.insynchq.com/ Not affiliated, but $15 is not a lot to pay, as opposed to waiting for something that probably won't happen.
Rclone has support for Google Drive, and it's open source: https://rclone.org/
There's a command line client that uses a push/pull workflow: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive It was written by a member of the Google Drive team.
Gnome supports Google Drive, or at least used to, directly in Nautilus. I don't use Gnome, so I can't comment.
There may be other options I've missed, but the point is that there is already good support in multiple forms. I'd be interested to know what support Google could provide that's not already available.

Has anyone used rclone to get their Google Photos?
Run this command to download (into your home directory): $ mkdir -p ~/.local/bin $ cd ~/.local/bin $ wget -c "https://github.com/odeke-em/drive/releases/download/v0.4.0/drive_linux" -O "drive-google" $ chmod a+x ./drive-google

Any Google Drive sync that works for accessing another computer's local files?
I think the dolphin file manager has Google drive access built in. But it requires the kio-gdrive package to be installed. If I am not mistaken it also does not do a sync to the local file system, it just allows for more convenient access. But this might be more like something, you are looking for: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive but I haven't tried this one out myself.

If you want a free google drive client for Linux this project should work ( I used it to sync my google drive files while in school) https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

Is Drive the best GDrive alternative available?
The last option I've found is Drive, a github project by Odeke-em with a name that certainly made it difficult to find. It seems like it may be the best option, but it looks difficult to set up and its wiki is broken.
- Is (hd0,msdos3) the same as /dev/sda3?

It absolutely 100% can be true.
As an example: Windows Services for Linux 2 used a special init daemon to interact with the host OS.
That meant no systemd. That meant that the `systemctl` program wasn't there.
This baffled legions, armies, of wannabe sysadmins.

People on the whole have no idea how this stuff works, and they just copy magic incantations from StackOverflow to get stuff to happen. If that doesn't work, then this OS is broken. The end.
For these guys, WSL was broken.

He "fixed" it. Systemd now works in WSL2. All those guides for noobs now work. Everyone is happy.
In a world where tools like Flatpak and Snap are proliferating and it's driving deep divisions between Linux distros, if you think the average person struggling with Linux is going to use `ldd` to work out where the dependencies for something live, I'm afraid you are a deep guru who lives on a different plane of existence.
We now have widely-used packaging systems which simply embed an apps entire dependency tree into a package to avoid people having to work out the difference between `apt` and `rpm`. Thousands of terabytes of disk are being burned to make this stuff go away.
Yes, this is too hard. Way too hard.

Broadcom to Cut Almost 1,300 VMware Jobs in California After Takeover
Seems to more of a Defender issue than a WSL one, see https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8995
After adding exclusions for the fsnotifier-wsl process and and both variants of the WSL distro path my disk performance was improved.
Adding the idea64.exe process also helped since I was trying to run IntelliJ against projects inside WSL.
