I don't get it on my Chromebook so once I've plugged my Garmin in to charge I load Strava up in a browser tab, go to manual upload and select the activity from within the Garmin.
Exhausted from the effort, I then go for a lie down. Clearly I need to drop £250 on an upgrade to an 820 to relieve my fatigue...

Exhausted from the effort, I then go for a lie down.
It's not effort, it is the inconvenience.
I intended to do this when I got the 800, and did it a handful of times and generally just do not bother.
Upgrading is about convenience not about effort. If it's one more thing I don't have to remember to do, one more time I don't need to put the computer on, remove the SD card or GPS from the bike... then great. I'm far more likely to use it.
The 800 gets a few outings a year for solo rides where I need routing, an 820 that constantly syncs via the phone would be used on every ride.
The value I get from the 800 because of the inconvenience is low. The value I'd get from the 820 would be high if the sync'ing just means I'd leave it on the bike all the time and only charge it every few days.

However as V said, you don't get that behaviour on Linux because there is no Garmin Connect app. You can however upload to the GC website by hand and I think I've seen open source software which can upload to GC (not sure if it was sportstracker)
