KDE Plasma users currently have no official ProtonVPN application. The community Flatpak works, but it is not maintained by Proton and lacks full feature parity with the official GNOME version.

Problem:

KDE‑based gaming distributions (Bazzite, Nobara, Fedora KDE, Kinoite) rely heavily on Flatpak to keep the system clean, stable, and immutable.

Many KDE users want an official Flatpak, but also official RPM and DEB packages, so they can choose the format that best fits their distribution and workflow.

GNOME already has an official ProtonVPN application, while KDE has no native or officially supported version.

Impact:

The community Flatpak is functional, but it is not official and does not receive direct support from Proton.

Users on immutable distributions cannot install RPM/DEB packages without breaking their system model.

Users on traditional (mutable) distributions often prefer RPM/DEB for deeper system integration.

Why KDE deserves an official version:

KDE Plasma is growing rapidly, especially across gaming‑focused distributions.

Flatpak has become the standard application format for immutable systems.

RPM and DEB remain essential for many mainstream Linux distributions.

Providing an official ProtonVPN application in all three formats (Flatpak, RPM, DEB) would deliver a consistent and complete experience for the entire Linux community.

Conclusion:

An official ProtonVPN application for KDE Plasma — available as Flatpak, RPM, and DEB — would offer a modern, flexible, and fully supported solution for all Linux users.

Thank you for considering this request.
