You make a fair point. ProtonVPN was a nightmare for me to set up and get working too but I think that's Proton's fault more than Linux's. I have many other applications that I simply installed with one click from the Software application and then have never needed to touch again. It seems not all app developers are equally motivated to make their stuff easy to run.

To the end user, it doesn't matter.

Yes, that is the point. Many developers don't care to rewrite their software for the 1% of people that daily drive Linux .

I agree. Still, I can't help but expect better from Proton.

Oh yeah 100%. You would think a company built on privacy and security would have better support for the most private and secure OS.
