Hi everyone,

Today we are starting the rollout of an updated Linux client (4.7.4), which introduces bug fixes & performance improvements across the board.

This update was prompted by your feedback regarding the app freezing occasionally, which has now been fixed. Additionally, as part of this update, Linux users should expect to see up to a 70% decrease in memory usage, thanks to an improvement in the ‘Search’ feature. We have also improved the start-up time when launching the app in the logged-in state.

As always, performance may vary from machine to machine based on specifications. Let us know if this improvement has been notable on your end, and if you have suggestions or feedback, please drop it in the comments below.

Thank you for your support,

Proton Team

all active Linux development is appreciated - the ideals of a FOSS operating system perfectly compliment the market for Proton services.

I chose proton, in part because of their first-party Linux support, and I look forward to the app continuing to be even better!

First class Linux support?

Does drive work now?

They said first party, not first class

Nice. Looking forward to when I can do port forwarding without having to run scripts to keep it working.

I couldn't get Proton VPN client to work due to timeout errors, but out-of-the-box Linux VPN connections based on Proton profiles worked fine.
