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?
I personally use this project https://github.com/odeke-em/drive for syncing to/from google-drive.
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.

I tried to move entirely to Linux supporting programs before I migrate from Windows. Here's how it went
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.

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.
Result:
MS hired Lennart Poettering.

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.

One of the bugs where on the Docker side. As I have said, there have been several since release with a lot of impact period overlap. The latest and greatest is not resolved.
the issue you're descibing is a bug in at least 1 specific version of docker desktop, not wsl.

Windows Subsystem for Linux 2.0 release
I think it's this bug https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8696
A real nightmare.
There are several issues in the repo related this bug, here's another one with over 500 comments:
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/6982
Almost 1000 total comments between both of these and basically no acknowledgement from microsoft.
- Why does "sudo apt reinstall bash" cause dpkg i/o error on WSL1?

WSL2 on Windows 11 - Virtual Disk vhdx is 200GB now , Inside Debian there is hardly few python codes. Is it due to this /mnt (these are windows drives mounted automatically by debian wsl)
