No, I absolutely love your long rant. Super helpful. Keep going. :) I actually just started getting the "Google drive won't be supported on this OS" messages so I am and have been exactly where you are saying. My MacBook pro has been functioning just fine which I contribute to the fact I barely even opened it for years but now that all this AI is out I realize it's a massive constraint for me. I had no idea or at all considered the path of instaling Linux. But worth going down the rabbit hole at least a little. But using the terminal instead of the desktop app I am not sure it's my cup of tea. Do I understand the desktop apps are just fine and operational in your Linux set up and or are you saying you can only use the terminal?
And yeah, in my attempt to install Buzz and failing due to WebKit version or something Claude code research upgrade paths and brought up this patches route OCLP - OpenCore Legacy Patcher. I've been digging deep into which is the OS I need and which one can safely be installed and what may get lost or successfully patched along the way.
