I watched this video where they talked about how someone installed Linux on their Google drive. Like, installing everything in Google drive, not finding some Google client. Storing the /* in Drive.
I am currently attempting to do this as well, but with Microsoft OneDrive. I’ll update you all on my progress!
The practical benefit would be the ability to run in an environment that can’t have any storage, but can have an internet connection. I don’t know what environment that is, but I’m sure someone will have it.
