After deleting a few temporary files and managing to save our masterpiece we decide that, as we haven't used windows for a long time and it is a much bigger partition, we will delete windows and move our now precious linux to the bigger partition.

Unlike Picasa, which used Wine, the Google Desktop port is entirely native. I use Ubuntu, so I was able to install Google Desktop using the Deb package provided by Google. In addition to making packages available for download, Google also conveniently hosts its own package repositories for a handful of distributions.
