I’ve never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don’t have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they’re working on. Not that any of it’s bad, but it feels like they’re in the “can’t just make a good product” camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I’m just a person, not an analyst.
+1 on that. They’re still struggling to make a good app for VPN on Linux while every other provider has sovlrd this ages ago. But overall a good service.
To be honest, that’s probably less of a priority since most Linux users are likely to be comfortable with just downloading the configs and importing them into NetworkManager.
Personally, Linux VPN app is not something I ever had any interest in. I’d rather get a Drive sync client…
i immediately got defensive at this, but that’s just my sunk cost fallacy speaking. The fact that it’s a suite is what originally sold me; cancel my 1password/dropbox/PIA and still have money left over. But yeah apart from proton mail everything else is halfbaked, and in the case of protonpass i’d call it undercooked/raw.
@keenworld I agree. They started with email a decade ago and even though it was unfinished they tacked on calendar, storage, vpn and so on. I would have wished that they finish one thing before starting another.

Well in a recent poll that Proton held in Reddit I think, Linux users were the first requesting an app.
Yeah VPN app on Linux is ridicously bad.
