It's amazing how many new products Proton manages to make while still barely supporting their VPN on Linux. On the one hand, nice work proton team. On the other, you lost a VPN customer today.

Just a thought, maybe their linux market share is just negligible? If it's not a worthwhile investment of resources, why do it?
I know it may be nitpicking or just pedantic, but they say on their page "Your data also never goes to the cloud, as we own and manage our own server infrastructure." But...if you upload your data to their servers (so it can go to all your devices), isn't that the "cloud"?
Saw this some time ago. Any advantages over, say, Bitwarden ?
The main advantage is that it can also set up an ‘alias’ which is a pseudo email address which forwards to your real email address. Really, I think the alias feature should be added into protonmail and removed from proton pass. Bitwarden UI has the edge though, imo.

I look at the cloud as something I can spin up a new service or VM very quickly. Think AWS, or Azure or whatever other service lets you quickly and easily deploy something.
We've now gotten to the point where people are saying any computer on the internet is "the cloud" and I don't think that's right or wrong necessarily, but for the sake of Hacker News, I do wish we were a little more specific.
That said, I think this argument from Proton is bordering on funny word play to make it seem different.

IMO it does not make sense to use any service from your VPN provider at the same time - it's like not using a VPN at all since they do know your real IP. No idea why this is not known to more people.
