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.

It’s okay if you use a regular OpenVPN client, but yes I agree that they could at least clarify that the Proton VPN client is broken for most Linux use-cases.

For what it's worth, their written-from-scratch new Linux app is in pre-release now: https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-prerelease/

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.

How so? I've only briefly used the client.

Bitwarden can also do this, and supports multiple providers

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"?
