They seriously need to up their client consistency game especially on the Linux side of things considering that is about 40% of their desktop market share.
I do not know where you got these numbers from, however the 40% aren’t correnct. The Linux userbase amounts to less than 1%, atleast on the VPN side. I do however think that this number isn’t very different accross all the userbase.
The truth is that we have Android > Windows > iOS > macOS > Android TV > Linux users. And Linux users amount to less than 1%.
That being said, a new Linux VPN client is currently in development and can already be tested out, more information can be found in the support page as well as on a reddit thread. If you do not rely on a kill switch (depending on your threat model), you could already test that out.
That’s interesting. I would think most people willing to pay for Proton would also switch to a more private OS, guess that’s just a small minority of us.
