The link right here goes to 40:02 of Proton’ boss on the TLE channel about Linux support, where a Drive Client is deemed so difficult to achieve that they don’t even have a roadmap for it. Nor is the word “Linux” featured anywhere on proton’s pages about Drive.

If I believe what I see on Lemmy, 99% of users here are on Linux, and the 1% remaining probably are just waiting on a Drive Linux Client to make the switch, right? Right?

Please take the survey and maybe mention politely our deep sorrow and profound distress.

          If you use the config file generator from the Proton website, you can have a Wiregard config tailor-made to load in NetworkManager for instance. Or several with or without NAT, different exits and so on.

          I don’t know how this isn’t widely known, it’s been there for a while.

            I know about this but it sucks for several reasons:

            • This doesn’t use the proton vpn client

            • You need to setup configuration files for each country you wish to connect

            • You configure a server directly, you can’t just connect to “France” and have the client choose the server with the least load

            • You can no longer select a random country, you have to introduce the randomness yourself

            • You have to manage configurations like kill switches on your own, since you’re no longer using the proton client

            It’s certainly a viable option, but why must linux users have all these drawbacks? :|
