I am of the opinion that Proton is a company out to generate as much continuous revenue stream as they possibly can. Profit is first and foremost - it just so happens that they're selling 'privacy' to accomplish their strong profits. I don't suspect that Proton sells or harvests personal data, but their services are much too aggressively priced for my liking (and limited finances). I'm strongly thinking of dropping them. Mullvad VPN is just as good, even more private, and costs about half the price (at least on a by-the-month basis).
Tutanota mail doesn't impose nearly as many restrictions on FREE accounts as Proton Mail does (creating folders, for example), but Tuta IS every bit as secure and private as Proton. Tuta desktop apps work just fine for free accounts - as they should! I think it's unscrupulous of Proton to restrict their desktop apps to only paying customers. Unfortunately, you can't just send a normal, 'unencrypted' email through Tuta Mail, so there is that one hiccup . . .
Proton VPN is very limited features-wise in Linux, as compared to Windscribe's or Mullvad's Linux VPN clients. Proton's Windows VPN client is full-featured, but the company is seriously dragging its feet on the Linux side of things.
Overall, Proton does provide good services, but the forced "in house" ads and VERY AGGRESSIVE pricing reeks of avarice to me. If, "IF", Proton honestly cared about peoples' privacy and security as their first priority, they wouldn't be charging such high premiums. The fact that I can't change the Linux Proton Mail app to dark mode independent of my KDE desktop theme, kinda gets on my nerves too. The Linux VPN is only half as capable as the Windows variant. It's a bit of a love/hate scenario for me . Due to my very limited finances, I think I'll switch to other less expensive providers. Providers who support Linux better, offer equally as robust security, and do so less expensively. ;)

Hmmm. I can't seem to enable dark mode for the Desktop app in Linux. I haven't found any menu option for it at all. It will only go into dark mode if I switch my entire KDE desktop mode - this is NOT what I want/need. I much prefer when apps themselves can be switched between light and dark modes.

I totally agree with you!
Furthermore, the monthly fee is way too expensive. For those of us in poor households, we can't afford $176 (CAD) per year for the so-called "deal". If the price were $10 per month (on a per month basis), that's a pill I might be willing to swallow. Even so, that comes out to $14 CAD per month.
