    I don’t use proton so forgive me if this is a stupid question…

    But do you need an app? Can’t you just use whatever browser you want for their services?

      Of course you can access everything through the web on Linux. I really like Proton’s web mail interface. Unfortunately, Proton does not have a Linux analog to their windows client that provides automatic file syncing. I think that what the commenter is complaining about.

      There is a dedicated Linux client for Proton VPN and in my experience it integrates quite well on Debian-based distributions.

      Also, there’s Thunderbird if you NEED a fat client for your email. Except Proton’s strength is where the service is located and the security of access. Having a full copy locally on your system kind of defeats that.
