Edit: thank you all for your answers, much appreciated to make an informed choice about the switch to linux.

As per title. I want to get rid of windows and switch to linux. I use all the proton products, both on android and windows. Is there anything i need to take into account, concerning proton? I know there is a linux version for vpn. But i seem to recall there isn’t yet for the drive app but it was in the works? I have no idea how long that would take though, this year, next year?

    I have had issues with VPN. Every now and then it broke due to update in some dependency. I got tired of that crap and switched to openvpn and proton config files.

    Drive works only via browser.

      Good to know about the VPN issues. And yes, i suspected Drive would only work on the browser. It’s unfortunate no one seems to know how long it will take for a linux version.

        The GUI app is terrible for VPN. It randomly logs me out and sometimes it refuses to connect. I have been relying on the CLI and it works great. After setting up auto-connect, you won’t even have to touch it most of the times.

        Just to chime in, I absolutely cannot get VPN to work on the latest Fedora. Seems to work okay on Mint.

        They did just release a new GUI, but not sure if that will do anything to help with the back end.
