From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The main cloud services don't even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it's a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

I had a problem with Mega using Fedora. Trying to update from Fedora 37 to 38, I had a dependency problem with the Megasync app. I tried uninstalling but the problem persisted and I couldn't upgrade, so I had to make a clean install.

Other than that, Mega and Syncthing worked perfect for me.

That's odd, I don't think the deb package has any dependencies

Fedora works with dnf, installing a rpm file.

The same thing happened to me, so I switched to the flatpak version and it works well.

I haven't installed it yet, so I'll switch to flatpak too!

@necrxfagivs @ryannathans Pedorra users are beta testers, change so to Devuan, void, slack, antix ... and finish the problems.
