Be advised that lots of Linux repositories have really old and outdated versions.
1.36 is downright ancient...
It is highly adviced you install directly from rclone.org - you can get traditional packages, but there is even a one-liner script you can copypaste to terminal to install in seconds.
Yea, there is basically no difference except that on windows you are probably going to use back-slashes in paths rather than forward slashes (except in the config file). On windows you also use WinFSP instead of FUSE to support mounts. Aside from that you can pretty much move any rclone setup around to whatever supported platform you want.
