  • As others have said, not with Linux Mint.

    However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.

    With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.

    I’ve been using pCloud for years and it’s superb.

    On a technical level or works exactly how I want a cloud drive to function - only downloads and stores files locally when necessary.

    Local cache size can be adjusted so if you work with large files you can increase it.

    UI is intuitive

    Linux client works without issue, even on immutable OS (Project Bluefin).

    Fantastic value for money. I purchased a lifetime subscription and it has already paid for itself compared to annual pricing.

    Only negative I have is although there is a open source headless Linux CLI client to work with remote servers it hasn’t been updated in a while and doesn’t support 2 factor authentication. https://github.com/pcloudcom/console-client

    I was able to work around this by creating a second free account without 2fa and “sharing” the directories I needed.
