Booting Linux off of Google Drive
(ersei.net)
Now this is why foss software is important 😁
If you use a swapfile on that setup...
Does that mean you've literally DOWNLOADED RAM???
YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A RAM
I remember LinusTechTips doing this with that title. But atleadt that was swap only on gdrive now this is full os in gdrive
Felony!!!
Lol this is exactly where my mind went
Respect, but...
Linux uh... Finds a way.
Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back
Mainframes are just other people's computers
That's some God tier linux wizardry
Not Stallman approved
How is that latency haha
Competitive with 1970s?
The first paragraph is savage LOL
If he only went with void instead of arch, it's just cheating using a systemd distri
Systemd FTW
@Chewy7324 It seems be fun but the latency should be terrible 😅
Latency isn't the only issue.
it's slow, symbolic and hard linking don't work correctly, and permissions and attributes aren't recorded.
You could have a secondary layer that tarred every file on write, since tar maintains permission flags. It could also fix symbolic linking, but not hard linking. As an added benefit, it would drastically reduce the usefulness of the system.
What about using a Google Sheets spreadsheet with the file content encoded in BASE64?
Once it all gets to ram, you should be just fine

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.
