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.

It's tucked away in the web interface, but Linux users are able to vote for features and show that they exist as part of the userbase.

Where does it say that this is specific to Linux?

How I interpret OP’s message is that it isn’t specific to Linux, but seeing as we are the Linux community, we might be more inclined to advocate for Linux features? 🤷‍♂️

I just started using Proton, but I don't think any of their apps are available for Linux natively, which is disappointing. I mostly use Proton apps inside Ferdium which I find useful for combining all of my productivity apps and Ferdium basically just keeps a website loaded, and websites are always cross platform compatible. I would love to know if there's a timeline for Linux apps in mind.

Proton is making an official native Linux client.

"Frequently Asked Questions :

Is the Proton Mail desktop app available for Linux?

The Proton Mail desktop app is currently available for macOS and Windows. We’re working on a Linux version that will be available in early 2024. Until then, if you use Linux, we recommend using the Proton Mail web app(new window) or Proton Mail Bridge for Linux."

For what it’s worth, there are some options on flathub.org even if they aren’t official.

@ShaunaTheDead @CowsLookLikeMaps The ProtonVPN app is native. It's basically a frontend to NetworkManager.

Yes! They also have a bridge for Thunderbird.

Why would you use UserVoice instead of GitHub?
