Interesting endeavor...any practical benefits? I would think that even a slow USB 2.0 drive would provide better performance than a cloud-based file system.

That’s not the point of such experiments.
Haha, oh I know and I'm all for trying things for the fun of it! Just wondered if there was a practical benefit of such a setup.
The practical benefit would be the ability to run in an environment that can’t have any storage, but can have an internet connection. I don’t know what environment that is, but I’m sure someone will have it.
And full disk sync, I suppose
You could pxe boot off a local network server and mount your cloud drive to a fileserver that offers it as nfs to the local network...
But.. why?
I asked the same question about the Google Drive boot, and the answer really boils down to "because I can."
Be carefull that they dont install that crowdstrike software automatically onto your installation
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.
