I wonder the same, but I also wonder what the actual use case is for the Drive app on Linux. For me, Drive is mostly for syncing office docs (namely MS-office docs), PDFs and images among teams. That type of work doesn’t lend itself well to a Linux env anyway. And for programming-heavy sync tasks, a user will more likely use a remote Git repo for code and GCS for data. Does google even use MS office internally?
I write my articles in Markdown and would want to switch to a terminal based Linux (Pi Zero, low power, e-paper, distraction free) to do this instead of a GUI.
(I currently use Goland and Scrivener to write articles and books)
That'd be weird, considering they have their own suite of office tools. Kind of like if Microsoft would be using Google Cloud rather than Azure internally.
Offering Linux on Azure makes sense, but do you think their own services they run in production run on Linux? If so, I'd be wary if I was a Windows Server customer.
