Proton’s mission, funding sources, independence, and community are some of the reasons we’re more resilient than other privacy-first companies.
Fuck. Really? I’m seriously considering switching to Proton but I’m also in the middle of moving to Linux and that’s not negotiable. Shit I took Linux support for granted.
The Linux client isn’t perfect, but you can download the openVPN config file and set up individual server connections yourself. It’s all laid out on their website, fairly simple. If you know what you’re doing, you can also edit the config files to allow IP-based split tunneling.
I’m using proton bridge on debian…
Downloading a .deb file is admittedly not ideal and not “the debian way” but it works
Their VPN services should be accessible by any linux client (but i’ve not tried yet)
Generally, compatability:
No SMTP (so I can send emails automatically from my servers for logs etc), no calendar sync, email sync is only hacky with the bridge, android does not have email sync at all, no contacts sync.
The calendar does not show the birthdays of contacts.
Proton drive for me is useless because no GNU/Linux client (if it comes, pls just make it something I can run headless).
There is more, but that’s what I find most annoying. If I have to chose one of these then I’d say that the groupware stuff needs to be synced to any client easily (includes calendar and contacts IMO)
