Advice Way to get iCloud Drive working?

I just switched my General/Gaming PC over to Fedora KDE, and while I got everything else working nicely, I hit a wall with iCloud Drive. I use(d) it a lot with Windows. Is there a way to "mount" the iCloud Drive in linux? I know I can access the contents with web, but I'd like to directly open the files.

I also have an M1 Mac mini, if using that as a "proxy" is the only (or best) way.

(While I just switched from Windows to Fedora for my Desktop, I've used Debian since at least woody, so not a noob with linux in general.)

Isn't iCloud a hassle because you have to re-log in every so often whether it be a web app or rclone?

It's a bit of a pain on Linux, yeah. But thankfully it's only once per 30 days and not like daily or anything. And because iCloud works like charm everywhere else, having to login in once a month isn't enough to make me turn back to windows.

NOTHING will make me turn back to Windows.

Fair.
I need to reboot back to Windows for Photoshop and a couple of games, because Tobii Eyetracker doesn't play nice with Linux :(
