I’m on a visionary account - how can I access this beta?
You must log in or register to comment.
I think I like the bridge approach more. Let me use my own client for mail and calendar etc rather than these siloed apps.
I fully agree with you. Especially since Proton will never implement all the features that Thunderbird offers.
Although I like the idea of the dedicated app, the bridge lets me read my proton mails and work mails in the same app so pass for me.
Found the link to download the beta for visionary users:
this is something I suggested to them over on reddit.

“We’re working on a Linux version that will be available in early 2024.”
It’s good that they are doing this, but Linux support across the board is abysmal. I don’t think Linux users should have to expect the bare-minimum out of a company that charges high prices for their service.

Even though I am on macOS, I have thought about leaving them, too. Mostly because I am paying a lot and their tertiary services such as calendar, drive and pass are lackluster. It feels like I am paying a steep price for them to focus on offering new products that are worse than the competition. With things like 1Password and iCloud drive (with advanced data protection enabled), it is hard to justify paying Proton hundreds of dollars for Mail and VPN alone.
Linux isn’t supported for their drive stuff likely for the same reason Backblaze’s BB-Personal programmer said they won’t even though it’s easy. Linux users tend to be more of power users and data businesses thrive on people using less than they pay for (800gb or less for BB).
I would like to see more Linux love as well. I think both companies could be more transparent and even if Linux were treated differently, having options would be cool.

Same. Terrible linux support for their vpn (on top of all the obvious issues it has, it also requires networkmanager which I don’t use, and iirc doesn’t support ipv6) drove me away, tuta has been much better imo. Especially since tuta on android doesn’t depend on google play services (proton mail does), which should be basic functionality for a privacy focused service

Yep, and mullvad vpn has been great on linux, plus they support ipv6 which imo should also be basic/minimum functionality for a modern vpn service
you could be the only one and that would be completely valid :p
yeah i’m also very disappointed with linux support on the VPN end, that client is wack!
