Recently moved my business and family to proton. I'm hoping that full Linux support is coming soon as it would make things a bit easier. Add my voice full Linux support. :)

I need that piece to switch from Windows to Linux. I have the distro and all but the hassle to manually sync my files does not encourage me to do the switch...

I totally agree mostly about Proton Drive. Without a Drive it is difficult to use professionally.

It would be nice to have a general Proton PPA/repo, like there already is for VPN. Updating Mail+Pass manually is quite the hassle...

We need digital independence!!! Support LInux, please!

The easiest distribution model for users would be flatpak (flathub)

We need a Drive desktop client for linux !
I can't switch to linux without my drive...
Or I will but also switch drive

Strongly agree.
This is not just 'fringe' - Linux is used widely in business.
Cannot / will not move to Proton's business offerings until Linux (esp Drive) is adequately supported.

filen.io does not support symbolic links - it's useless as a Linux cloud sync destination.

I agree, I've been using Linux for several years now, before that I was on Windows. Proton software is poorly supported on Linux. I am currently a PikaOS user, previously I was on CachyOS, Pop!_OS, Fedora, Linux Mint.

No choice but to quit the Microsoft ecosystem with end of 10, but Proton is lagging in Linux support! Kind of puts us in a tough spot!

yes, very disappointed in the current state of linux apps from Proton. I would like flatpaks or appimages, thanks!

As a paying proton member I would very much like to see the full suite of Proton apps for Linux desktops with support for the Wayland compositor please. It is really about time.

Yes!

Privacy by default as long as you use an OS that gives you no privacy at all?
This thread has been going for one and a half years, not one comment from Proton?
Really?
I'm a paying subscriber until I find an alternative that actually want their customers to be able to have privacy.

"With Proton, your data belongs to you, not tech companies, governments, or hackers."

Echoing oh so many people below, I only used Windoze for gaming, but with Windows Recall on the horizon I decided that the current state of Linux gaming was good enough because I am not on board with M$ harvesting every single byte of my usage data to feed their disgusting LLMs.

Imagine my surprise that Proton has the quoted marketing bit on their page only to discover lackluster Linux support, blatantly proving the quote above to be false. If I was in charge of the Proton marketing dept or an exec, I'd be ashamed.

I'll give it to the end of my subscription (they already have my money, those cads) to see if there's any movement on this space and if not I'll look for better alternatives.

Regarding what jeronath commented: I did exactly those things after being a Proton Unlimited user for a number of years. Mullvad VPN is much better (more stable). Filen Drive is much better (much faster and more stable). Tuta Mail is much better in general. My Unlimited subscription is set to expire very soon and I've already canceled the subscription. If you think about it, Proton probabaly considers Linux users a liability given the small number of us compared to Windows and MacOS users. As far as being aligned with Linux users becuase of the interest in privacy - forget it. They could care less. Good riddance.

I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint those who use Proton tools on Linux by telling them that I've been a paying user for six years, after having been a free user since Proton was launched! Over the years, I've noticed that Proton is more concerned with making money from Windows and Apple users than respecting Linux users, who are actually the closest to the philosophy that Proton claims to uphold. Don't expect any progress on their part; they almost never respond to requests from this user base. Yes, we have a very limited version of the VPN, and there's no future for a Drive app that allows synchronization. Personally, I think I'll end up leaving Proton for Mullvad VPN, Filen Drive, and Tu Mail when the next bill comes due. I'm tired of their contempt for Linux users.

Right now, there is an incoming wave of new Linux users, since the end-of-live for Windows 10 is pushing people on lower-end hardware out. For proton, this would be a great opportunity, if Linux support were not so lackluster.
Paying customers switching to Linux are in for a surprise.

Absolutely. I just switched to linux for my main laptop, and was fully expecting all proton apps, but there was no proton drive! There was proton VPN but it looked super old, like it was from 2015 or something.
