Bring Linux app quality in line with Windows and Apple apps
The Linux apps from Proton are subpar when compared to the same apps on Windows or IOS (when they even exist).
As a paying unlimited customer I expect much better. I propose that instead of wasting resources on features which customers have not asked for (Ai, Bitcoin wallet, etc.) you allocate more time and resources to developing your Linux ecosystem. After all, Linux is the only truly private operating system, this should be closely aligned with Proton's mission.

I have been waiting for nearly a year now and still no Linux support for Drive. How can this be???

The linux Proton drive app is the only component missing to complete a solution that can take me out of the Windows/Office/oneDrive straitjacket

I agree. I am very grateful that Proton exists, but we've been waiting for this for many years. I'd add three things :
* I have non-techie friends & family asking to switch to Linux (because of the Windows mess), and they're happy. But the lack of Proton drive client is something that is an argument to stay on Windows. Which is, privacy-wise, something that is completely against what Proton stands for!
* I don't you what your infrastructure is made of, but I'm willing to bet it's almost 100% linux-based. Maybe it's time to give back ?
* Proton's reputation is being damaged, and I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. Proton has been promising a linux client for Drive for so many years, without delivering, it makes me wonder how things work internally. Plus, your competitors (some are smaller than you are) have no problem delivering a linux client that works well, so what's the problem here?
