Without this, rare but critical insights often get drowned out by the sheer volume. Automating the initial triage ensures that niche but high-impact suggestions—like specific privacy enhancements or ecosystem gaps—are flagged for human review regardless of how many votes they initially have. It shifts the focus from 'popularity' to 'potential value'.

Title: From Better Support to a Sovereign OS: Why a "Proton Linux" Beta is the Next Logical Step
Comment:
First, kudos to the team for the existing Linux support—it's a solid foundation. But to truly lead, Proton needs to go further than just porting apps. The next logical step is a Proton Linux Beta, built on stable bases like Ubuntu or Mint.
Why Now? The stars are aligned. The EU has committed €30+ billion to digital sovereignty to break free from US Big Tech, and the Linux desktop community in Europe just exploded with 15–20 million new users in a single year. These users aren't just looking for an OS; they are desperate for a trustworthy, privacy-native ecosystem.
The Proposal Instead of reinventing the wheel, launch a public beta. It's low-risk, leverages existing infrastructure, and turns users into co-developers. It proves that Proton can deliver on its core promise: Privacy First, built into the foundation—not bolted on as an afterthought.
Conclusion Don't just patch expensive Windows dependence. Privacy and data-hungry Windows are fundamentally incompatible—Windows lost 5.1% market share in Europe between late 2025 and mid-2026, shedding roughly 15 million users as people seek alternatives. Offer the real exit door. Start with a Proton Linux Beta featuring integrated VPN first (or more :). With this focused approach, Proton can choose to stay comfortable or lead the change—delivering security and privacy that is native from the very first boot.
