    Here are a few reasons to implement a Proton Drive Linux Client as soon as possible:

    1. Linux is more committed to privacy and freedom than Windows and macOS that already have Proton Drive clients.

    2. Support for Linux with RClone https://rclone.org/protondrive/

    3. Projects like Celeste support Proton Drive, demonstrating that this can be done: https://github.com/hwittenborn/celeste

    4. Other Proton products already work in Linux, like the Proton VPN application.

    5. Customers preservation. I have been a client of Proton Drive from the start. However, I have considered using https://filen.io/ and reduce my Proton subscription. I used to recommend Proton Mail to many friends and family. Now I cannot recommend Proton products to my friends, because many of them use Linux.

    6. Proton Drive is ignoring a great community. Why ignore and forget one of the biggest communities in the history of technology. What is the benefit of this?

    7. Windows requirements. Windows 11 forced many users to switch to Linux, many of them in the technology sector. This can happen again?

    8. Client side scanning with AI. Windows Recall, client side scanning, telemetry, etc. All this products and features affecting privacy. Linux does not affects users privacy.

    If all this make sense, please explain why a Linux Client for Proton Drive is not available yet?
