More than GUI, I would hope they add the same features that we had in Windows.

Split tunneling and reverse split tunneling. Split tunneling by programs.

FWIW I'm quite happy with proton-vpn-gtk-app-4.3.0 on Ubuntu 22.04. It integrates well with the GNOME desktop. Improvements and feature parity would be great, I just think some comments here are overstated.

Since my june 4 comment, I've abandoned Ubuntu for bookworm, the much improved raspberry pi OS. While bookworm's UI lacks the elegance of Ubuntu's UI, it makes up for it in stability and fewer bugs. Also, the current proton VPN app for Linux is working great with bookworm and my pi 4.

it definitely works with linux mint you just have to use the terminal to install it if you dont have a software GUI.

Using protonvpn 4.1.0 on nobara currently and only have a few gripes. I would like to be able to select servers to not auto-connect to, "blacklist." And i would like to see the services available in the server im currently connected to ie. streams or p2p.

Have an official Flatpak with the GUI. I could be wrong, but having the VPN installed on the OS makes the browser extensions redundant. Wouldn't that free up developers to focus on other things?

Absolutely. It lacks many features the Mullvad APP or ProtonVPN for Linux app have.

Also, I can't understand why they would go with Python for the Linux app. It is less reliable and less efficient.

After using the current Windows/Mac version of ProtonVPN app, the Linux version looks like a very early pre-alpha build that was lost in time... I hope ProtonVPN team dedicate more time to re-write the app, to make it like the other OS's versions.

I've started using Proton VPN in Windows, and it's a great app, full of resources, with great graphics, many resources, ability to auto-start, start minimized, auto-connect to a profile... The Mac version also looks very similar to Windows'.

However, recently I changed to Linux (Pop OS, Ubuntu based), and although I had no problems installing the GUI version of the app, it does not even remotely resemble the Windows/Mac version. It's a very, veeeeeeeeery simple app, without the majority of configuration options present in their other OS's counterparts.

Proton VPN team should dedicate more time to make the Linux version of the app the same that we see in Windows/Mac, so we can have in Linux exactly the same wonderful experience the app propitiates in Windows and Mac.

I prefer the Linux client GUI; however, it doesn't play nice with Ubuntu 23.04 LTS desktop on the Raspberry Pi 4. Proton VPN does work flawlessly with the OS's native OpenVPN and Proton's configuration files, but you lose the GUI's bells and whistles. In fact, some of those bells and whistles (which are command lines in disguise) cause the OS instability and connectivity issues I repeatedly experienced in spite of supposed fixes and workarounds. So I'd welcome a properly functioning Debian-based Linux client on Pi 4 hardware.

It would be nice to re-write ProtonVPN Linux app with Qt Framework. Qt software is more stable and looks much better on all distributions. It's best crossplatform framework.

We have the GUI -- but it would be nice if it was more feature rich

It's very cumbersome to use (command line only) with Manjaro KDE and I also feel like I'm not getting what I'm paying for. A nice GUI would be great. The previous one worked fine, but got a new computer and now this: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-gui - why remove the old one before the new one is ready?

There is am package RPM too, but you need to search a bit more on the internet ;)

Hope this helps!

I paid for ProtonVPN many months ago but can't use it with Linux Mint.
No killswitch, no graphical user interface (GUI ).
I paid close to $100 (Canadian) but didn't use it so far.
IIt would be great if it was as convenient for Linux as "Private Internet Access" (PIA) is :
