Linux desktop client doesn't support virtual files

Neither the AppImage (version 33.0.5?) nor the nextcloud-desktop support virtual files. How come a program built with Linux in mind has worse support than Windows? I’ve been very disappointed to find out, since one of the biggest reason why I switched to self hosted Nextcloud was the lack of support of OneDrive for Linux.

Am I missing something?

EDIT:

Workaround

~/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg

[General]
showExperimentalOptions=true

Enable virtual files support in your account’s settings inside the client (three dots button). This might suffice.

The problem is missing VFS API in Linux.. in opposite to Windows and MacOS which both ship an API to use with all kind of sync tools (Onedrive, Google Drive etc) such an API doesn’t exist now.. and only some workarounds exist.. VFS on Linux · Issue #3668 · nextcloud/desktop · GitHub
