Not really. They are very similar, but I prefer Tutanota because of the $1/m subscription they used to offer. I don’t feel as if $4/m is worth it for email. At the end of the day, it’s really just personal preference.
I agree, the VPN app is just awful, and now drive will take forever to arrive on Linux, probably with a half assed version too.
I don’t know what they have multiple apps, just create one app for everything, mail and calender bridge and sync.
A VPN makes sense to be separate, but that can be included too.
Though mail + Simplelogin + VPN(just using the wireguard config) is a killer combination, now with Pass being almost ready to use, proton Unlimited is a very good subscription.

Even though this is a nice development, I’m pretty disappointed in the resources directed at Linux support. I’m considering dropping Proton soon.
Proton is a shit-hole except for it’s email - and even then it’s barebones. Consider switching to Mullvad for a VPN, it’s incredible with linux.
Imo tutanota is better, if you don’t use rest of their products, are there any advantages of using protonmail instead of tutanota?

mullvad vpn is just better
The lack of port forwarding is a pretty big shortcoming for me. I just recently switched away from mullvad for this reason. :(
How so, if I may ask
Their Linux support is second to none and they’ve got a really nice credit system.
You’ve piqued my interest, thanks for the tip.
