I am so close to getting my family to switch to Linux. A replacement for one drive, preferably a Proton one, is the last thing to tip the scales

    Linux has been treated as a second class citizen by Proton with pretty much all their products. Just look at the state of the ProtonVPN client compared to Windows. They are simply allocating less resources to Linux development in general compared to other platforms.

      I kind of understand it though. Their official client is gtk based, there are distros that use qt, other distros don’t use anything at all and instead the user build it. I ended up using wireguard/openvpn directly and just downloading proton config files and it worked greatly.

      If they just provide a good server infrastructure and a reasonable app that works well on famous distros e.g Ubuntu, Fedora, it’s enough
