Or Syncthing if they want to sync gb's of files between computers.

Google! - the best spying engine the world has ever seen - collaborating with the 3 letter agencies.
Whoogle (through Tor)? ;)
Or searx??
Well, I would be, at least a little.
A tiny bit. Almost non existing.

Librewolf and Signal user.
A man of culture I see.
An efficient solution would to just stop using Google's services all together. That way they can't spy on you so easily and make a profile from your internet habits.
There are plenty of alternatives to Google services in the opensource realm.
"Core apps" are better on baremetal for seamless system integration.
Just use flatpaks for everything else.
Yeah, maybe Slowroll is better for for that kind of bandwidth limitation. It is still pretty fast paced in the update department.
When I installed Tumbleweed not so long ago, I also had problems. The installer is notorious for giving you an unusable system sometimes, even when using the defaults.
I have been running Tumbleweed "stock" on my desktop for about 10 months now and truth to be told I never had a problem with it, including updates. Rock stable with a nice snapshot feature as a safety net.
That's why I'll wait to install Kalpa on the desktop. Just no reason for it.
I have of course run into bugs but those came from KDE. Can't really blame Tumbleweed for those.
In fact, Tumbleweed is the reason I went all in with Linux and ditched dual booting Windows, as I had been bit pretty hard early on my linux journey with other distros and made me think twice using Linux as a daily-reliable-driver.
I bet you play Mordhau also.

When we are talking terabytes of data there are faster ways for the initial sync job.
I would just use rsync/sftp/robocopy or similar for that first copy for faster transfers, then setup Syncthing on those shares for delta syncs.
