It’s good that they are doing this, but Linux support across the board is abysmal. I don’t think Linux users should have to expect the bare-minimum out of a company that charges high prices for their service.
This is definitely my main issue. I pay them the same amount as anyone else, but feel like a second class citizen. I was okay with it at first but it’s only getting worse.
Even though I am on macOS, I have thought about leaving them, too. Mostly because I am paying a lot and their tertiary services such as calendar, drive and pass are lackluster. It feels like I am paying a steep price for them to focus on offering new products that are worse than the competition. With things like 1Password and iCloud drive (with advanced data protection enabled), it is hard to justify paying Proton hundreds of dollars for Mail and VPN alone.
