Hey everyone! I'm new to Ubuntu—just installed it a few days ago following a tutorial from The Odin Project, and I'm diving into the Unix command line too. I've already set up Flatpak and got my first game, Hytale, running smoothly on my i5 10500H with an Nvidia GTX 1650. However, I'm considering making a full switch to Ubuntu and need some advice.
I heard there's no native OneDrive app for Linux, so I'm looking for good alternatives for cloud storage. I'm also wondering how to run Battle.net on Ubuntu since I know Steam has an official launcher but not B.net. Lastly, what are some solid steps I can take to move from a beginner to a more intermediate user? Thanks a lot!

There are a few reliable ways to access OneDrive on Linux:
1. You can use the OneDrive Client for Linux—it's free and open-source.
2. There's also the 'onedriver' client for on-demand functionality.
3. RClone is another popular CLI tool you might find useful. Last I checked, the GNOME integration is lackluster, so stick with the first three options for better performance!
Welcome to the world of Linux! It's a fun journey full of discovery!
I've had a good experience with Pcloud, and they even offer some affordable lifetime plans which could save you money compared to Dropbox. Definitely worth checking out!
You don’t necessarily have to ditch OneDrive. You can use RClone or similar tools to access your OneDrive files without their app. But honestly, you might want to consider switching services altogether—Microsoft isn't the most trustworthy these days. For accessing Battle.net games, check out Faugus launcher for single-company launchers and Heroic for Epic and others. They're pretty great for adding non-Steam games too!
When you're searching for help online, make sure to refer to it as Linux instead of Unix—just a little tip! As for cloud storage options, there are plenty out there. Are you leaning towards a cloud provider or considering setting up your own server?
I'm thinking about a cloud provider for convenience, but I’m open to suggestions!
