Hey there Proton community! I wanted to know the best and easiest way to get ProtonVPN working on the Steam Deck. I have very little knowledge of Linux, so I’m looking for someone to help me.

Edit: thanks for the tips guys!

    You can download it directly from the software center by going into desktop mode! It runs like it normally would on any desktop, although you either need to enter desktop mode after restarts/power off to ensure its on. Feel free to send a message if you need help!

      So I managed to find it, and I saw that recent reviews are very negative.

      There is some way to get things going on startup on Steamdeck, even in Steam-mode (Big Picture mode? Not-desktop mode?). I had to do it for Syncthing, I just don’t remember exactly what I did. I probably made a service file if I had to take a guess, but I think an “@reboot” cron job might work too
