Having a Linux should be a must. You support mail, pass, and vpn, Drive should be the next one with Linux support.

This is critical for me. I can't run ProtonVPN on Linux with Portmaster a privacy oriented application that includes SPN which routes every outbound connection though a different node, all over the world, creating multiple ips per application. I would prefer any underlying connection be routed through your VPN (which I'm paying for) when I need functionality over privacy (like high speed downloads or access to certain sites) but I can't do this because Safing Portmaster requires the DNS to be unencrypted locally before forcing it to my chosen DNS provider -quad9- over a DoH or TLS connection. This process is critical to it's functionality as it needs to see where the traffic is going before rerouting that traffic via an encrypted node and then passing it along to DNS server of MY choice. ProtonVPN for Linux, however, does not need this and yet it insists on hooking into my DNS and rerouting it without giving me the option to point it elsewhere thus creating a standoff and killing my connection entirely. And out of the two, I'd much rather have the SPN protecting me than a standard VPN.
We're Linux users. Most of us know what we're doing, and know the implications of setting a manual DNS provider. You can always just put it behind advanced settings or developer mode with a link on why changing it is a bad idea. This current version of the ProtonVPN app is missing an important feature to me that for some reason is available on Windows which is (extremely) disappointing.
A lot of Linux users have a privacy mindset out of principle and utilize your services because of this. And yet we can't get basic functions like custom DNS or Proton Drive.
Don't leave the Linux user-base behind, please.
