  • Tuta has a linux desktop app, and their android app is on fdroid and doesn’t depend on google play services. Plus they use green energy for their servers

    I was tired of proton because their linux vpn app is pretty awful, especially if you use iwd instead of networkmanager like me. Plus they don’t even support ipv6. So I was switching to mullvad vpn (which has great linux support and ipv6), and then for the price of just email tuta was cheaper and better on all the things I mentioned without any downsides (to me), so I switched.
















  • You technically can, but when it’s all that work and research vs open app, sign in, hit connect, and you’re done, I don’t regret switching

    Also, from more of a branding side, all those things imply to me that proton doesn’t value the same things I do or at least their priorities are different from mine. So I’d rather take my business to other platforms that do care about and cater to my use cases 🤷



  • Used to use proton but switched to mullvad vpn and tutanota (email+calendar) for better linux and android support. Protons linux vpn client is literally unusable for me (I don’t use networkmanager, and it only supports that) and they don’t support ipv6 while mullvad worked instantly for me and supports ipv6, and proton doesn’t have a linux email client, and their email app isn’t on fdroid and depends on google play services. Tutanota has a good linux client, is on fdroid, and doesn’t depend on google
