"We’re working on a Linux version that will be available in early 2024."

Linux isn't supported for their drive stuff likely for the same reason Backblaze's BB-Personal programmer said they won't even though it's easy. Linux users tend to be more of power users and data businesses thrive on people using less than they pay for (800gb or less for BB).
I would like to see more Linux love as well. I think both companies could be more transparent and even if Linux were treated differently, having options would be cool.

Same. Terrible linux support for their vpn (on top of all the obvious issues it has, it also requires networkmanager which I don't use, and iirc doesn't support ipv6) drove me away, tuta has been much better imo. Especially since tuta on android doesn't depend on google play services (proton mail does), which should be basic functionality for a privacy focused service

you could be the only one and that would be completely valid :p
yeah i'm also very disappointed with linux support on the VPN end, that client is wack!

I think I like the bridge approach more. Let me use my own client for mail and calendar etc rather than these siloed apps.
I fully agree with you. Especially since Proton will never implement all the features that Thunderbird offers.
Although I like the idea of the dedicated app, the bridge lets me read my proton mails and work mails in the same app so pass for me.
