From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can't wait for Proton to ship Drive for Linux just so we can get a different complaint as the top comment on every Proton thread
The lack of caldav is really killing me
And proton mail still isn't on f-droid 😴 Their focus is all over the place.
Anti Commercial-AI license
F-droid... We still can't schedule send emails on Android. The new Android app isn't any better. There's a very long way to go.
They don't have SMTP and IMAP, I just want that (which is why I'm hosting my main Mail with another provider now)
Would Proton Bridge fit your needs?
Nope, it can only be hosted on localhost, so I can't use it from my phone. It has no good tui and getting it to work with VMs sucks.
I don't get why they do this, SMTP and IMAP have encryption already.
This is the only thing I want from Proton and they released another bitwarden alike.
That's the real sticking point for me, it is a problem for my desire to transition to Linux as a daily driver.
Seriously... I would rather not have to pay for Filen on top of my Proton business sub.
There are still third party apps
They don't take money from investors but grow organically, which limits their resources quite a bit. With more users being on other platforms and Linux being a bit more complex when it comes to amount of possible filesystem and other combinations I see why it takes them a while. Iirc they also do e2e encryption of (meta-)data which does increase complexity.
Hopefully they'll finish it at some point, as it's been a long time since they announced Proton Drive. As I'm not paying for Proton, I understand a paying long-time subscriber might not share my acceptance of them zaking their time.
I pay for the VPN and get everything else for free. It just depends on the pov
