    Proton’s feature set is very limited and kind of all over the place depending on platform, and development is incredibly slow, especially for Linux, but I do believe they’re committed to privacy and they do have a whole suite of products now under a single, very reasonably-priced subscription.

      It’s only slow for Linux because they can’t find Linux devs. If you know any, tell them to apply.

        I dont believe that for a second. It’s slow because, like most things Linux, almost nobody used it.

        However, it is undoubtedly the most private and secure desktop OS.

      I use the web mail client and thunderbird client and it works fine. Protonvpn works fine in arch linux, there’s gui and cli, I prefer cli. Drive isn’t on linux yet but web client works wonderfully fast.

      What part of Proton’s feature set is limited and compared to what other service? You can do a whole lot more with proton than with Gmail for example.

        I mean…that’s a long list, my guy.

        Gmail client, no, but I have my (work) Gmail connected to Shortwave, which honestly is a fucking Godsend for all the people who insist on continuing to use email. It just makes it so much easier to organize everything.

        You can’t do the same thing with Proton (for good reason) but there’s no reason they can’t incorporate those features.
