There’s commercial nextcloud providers and dropbox has a linux app. You could also do something syncthing or sftp. Google drive can integrate faily well with gnome, idk about cinammon tho.
My google drive is just a special folder on my file explorer. My account is configured with the system account manager. It shows me all my Drive files and when I want to open one it automatically downloads and opens the file seamlessly as if it were in my PC. If I create, move or change folders, add new files, etc. It automatically syncs it with my Drive.
I use Gnome but Cinnamon and Gnome are not that different in that topic IIRC. I have to mount the remote folder via file manager (Nautilus) then I can access the files in Code.
Hmm. It’s not working in Manjaro for me. Is it as easy as just opening any other folder? I have Drive added in KDE and can see my files but I cannot add a folder from drive in Codium.
My guess is no, since the folder is a magical protocol address that I assume VScode/codium wouldn’t understand for they insist on handling the directory hierarchy directly. Haven’t really troubleshoot that workflow though. I use exclusively Git with GitHub/GitLab. So there’s no need for GDrive with an IDE for me. My Drive is exclusively for personal files which most other Linux-as-a-first-class-citizen applications (LibreOffice, PDF readers, photo viewers and editors) just use as the OS gives it to them without issue.
ADD: I would imagine there’s an additional complication depending on whether Codium is running from repository or Flatplak.
Kitty, although I was using Alacritty until last week. I got an update that had a bug related to launching Alacritty full screen. I’m in a terminal all day so I couldn’t be bothered with it. I installed kitty and adapted my configuration pretty easily. I can’t tell the difference between them except for the icon.
Sakura. I recently did a little survey of what was on hand for Debian Stable, and that’s the one I liked best. The most important thing to me is right-click paste, because I do that incessantly.
Kitty the vast majority of the time but slowly using Ghostty more and more as it improves. Sometimes use Tabby and have been looking into Wave recently. I also use the x-terminal-reloaded package in the Pulsar editor for a dock terminal if im doing something in it at the same time.
Konsole and xterm, although I haven’t had to use xterm in a while. Actually, circa 1997 I used kterm, the predecessor to konsole. ;)
Straight up Linux ttys are also quite common for me. Most old school distros still let you escape to the terminal, with CTRL-ALT-F1 or similar. I haven’t distro hopped in a long time, so I don’t know if other distros still do this.
I’ve always preferred Konsole because it handles several tabs pretty well and I keep a bunch open to my servers. The only issue I have with it is that it has a habit of detaching tabs if I click on one while my computer is running something heavy in the background.
