From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Note that there isn't a Linux version of the protondrive app. ... I know! what the fuck right?
Secondly, I would just shove Linux Mint onto a USB and use that as a live distro with persistence for a while, just to get used to things. I'm not a fan of debian(/-based) or apt, but it works.
Yes, you're right, but at least they have a web app, so it's not a total deal breaker. I think a linux version is in the works, but knowing Proton it can still take a long time before one will be available. I also know that their VPN linux version is pretty shaky for some people.
As a protonvpn user on linux (arch) I can say that it is totally fine for me. I am using Gnome though.
You can use this app to sync with proton drive https://flathub.org/apps/com.hunterwittenborn.Celeste
Interesting, is it something like Syncthing? I will definitely check it out, thank you for the link!
not sure what syncthing does! I'm not a big fan of the cloud, I just knew of that app because The Linux Experiment channel talked about it
I haven't used it yet, but apparently it's not hosted by a third party and syncs between 2 computers in real time and encrypted.
That's correct. It's not just limited to computers or only two devices though.
