I'm using OneDrive across all my devices, including Linux, Windows, iOS, and Android. However, I'm running into a problem on my Lenovo P15 with Kubuntu 24.04. When OneDrive starts, it throws an error saying that Libcurl version 8.5.0 has known bugs and that I need to upgrade. I've already updated curl/libcurl to version 8.16.0, but OneDrive still insists on using the old version 8.5.0. I uninstalled and rebooted, then installed the latest version I could find (V.2.5.6-1+np1+1.1), but I'm still facing the same issue. Does anyone have suggestions on how to force OneDrive to utilize the newest libcurl?

It sounds like your issue is the snap version you installed. I suggest upgrading curl/libcurl the traditional way to avoid complications. If that’s too tricky, consider switching to a distro that keeps packages more current. Debian 12 or 13 could be good options if you want to stick with 'apt'.
Looks like Microsoft is really bringing its Windows charm to Linux! Just remember, in Linux, programs don’t usually remind you when to update. If they can’t work with your version, tough luck! You have the freedom to choose whether to update or stick with the old version.
What release of Kubuntu are you using? Also, I’m curious about how you upgraded curl/libcurl to 8.16.0. Did you compile it manually or use a package manager?
I’m running Kubuntu 24.04. I initially checked the official curl website but then got frustrated trying to compile it myself. Eventually, I found a snap that offered version 8.16.0, so I went with that. It works perfectly on the command line, and file transfers are fine, but I still get that annoying error message from OneDrive.
