They way Andy explained it in an interview with Techlore (I think?) was that the large array of different file systems across the distro's makes it a difficult task. He said it in such a way that I felt he was basically saying to their time is better spent elsewhere, so it's probably smart to write it off. But hey, the browser interface is solid on FF, so at least there's that lol
Linux has been treated as a second class citizen by Proton with pretty much all their products. Just look at the state of the ProtonVPN client compared to Windows. They are simply allocating less resources to Linux development in general compared to other platforms.
FWIW, the Mac client lacks features found on Windows, but not as severely.
I kind of understand it though. Their official client is gtk based, there are distros that use qt, other distros don't use anything at all and instead the user build it. I ended up using wireguard/openvpn directly and just downloading proton config files and it worked greatly.
If they just provide a good server infrastructure and a reasonable app that works well on famous distros e.g Ubuntu, Fedora, it's enough
I don't think that should really be an issue. Isn't that exactly what FUSE is for? Providing a standardised way of interacting with a filesystem?
Majority is using different OS, that is the fact, so do not blame them to prioritize other OS in many cases.
I do blame them because they actively choose to launch different products nobody asked for (e.g a Bitcoin wallet) instead of focusing on feature parity. I pay the exact same amount of money as a Windows user but I get less. Proton is a privacy focused company so naturaly the number of their customers running Linux is gonna be much greater than the average software company.
Don't forget the ai chat not garbage too. So much wasted effort
