With this hitting multiple communications media for me independently over the last few hours, it has me considering whether I can switch from Windows to Linux for my gaming PC again.
Last time I tried, I used Ubuntu, and I experienced problems with several games via Proton (e.g., The Finals, Fields of Mistria, and Civilization VII, among others). I checked ProtonDB, and it looks like those issues may be resolved.
However, I also wonder what people are using to replace iCloud/OneDrive/Dropbox/whatever on Linux. Or, if they don't use such a thing in the first place, how they handle off-site backups of files and images.

- cardanome 1y agoDropbox works fine on Linux so you should be good. OneDrive has a community developed client, not sure how good it works. Gaming works great on Linux, arguably better than on Windows. Show stoppers are mostly aggressive anti-cheat or DRM stuff so multiplayer can still suck but for anyone doing single player it is amazing. I have a windows installation I can dual boot into but I haven't in like half a year, I prefer gaming on Linux. Linux Mint with Cinnamon has a traditional Desktop close to Windows. I highly recommend checking it out.
- bovermyer 1y agoMy last attempt was Debian-flavored Mint. This go around, I'm thinking of trying Kubuntu. Specifically 25.10 Kubuntu, since apparently Wayland fixes a lot of the problems I had trying to game on Linux before.
- heavyset_go 1y agoYou can use OneDrive and Dropbox on Linux, but to answer your question: Nextcloud
- bovermyer 1y agoSeveral people now have recommended Nextcloud as hosted by Hetzner. I will have to look into this.
