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.

Another person already answered about the office apps so I won't mention it. What I know is that the most recent version of GNOME has OneDrive support so Ubuntu 24.04 should have it. Copilot is impossible to get. Also if you use the Microsoft suite, you probably should be running Windows. There's not that much point in switching to Linux in this case
Linux is not only about privacy. It's primarily about freedom.
Just to check, do you mean the Microsoft version of Onedrive, or the abraunegg Linux version?
Abraunegg's version is brilliant, but the MS version would make my life easier :)
It is the Gnome Online Accounts version.
Thanks :)
I take it that's a third party client that syncs with MS Onedrive?
Correct, it is one of multiple that are available, it just happens to be built into Gnome. It also syncs with Google Drive and some others.
Ah, I know the one. I've used it for Google Drive in the past. I didn't know it could do Onedrive too though.
I didn't understand the question. Afaik there is no official OneDrive app for Linux
A developer, Abraunegg, has made a Linux tool that syncs a Microsoft Onedrive account with a Linux system, in the same way that the Microsoft Onedrive tool does on Windows. They've named their tool Onedrive too.
I didn't know if you were talking about Microsoft Onedrive compatibility in Gnome, or Abraunegg's Onedrive. It gets a bit confusing when they both have the same name.
I don't remember hearing anything about the Abraunegg's version so I think GNOME made their own implementation or used another base
That makes sense, thanks :)
