2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    It's a shame that Proton VPN has no official flatpak. The Arch Linux AUR package's been broken for a long while now.

    [โ€“] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago

    Its crazy that they have a Flatpak though.

    MullvadVPN wouldnt work because they do really privileged stuff to hook in your connection, block it on early boot etc. Your device is pretty much airgapped.

    A flatpak cant do that.

    [โ€“] Tyoda@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    Yeah. The protonvpn-gtk-app (or something like that) AUR package works fine, though. Really barebones but does the job.

    [โ€“] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

    I'd take a barebones but functional app over a one-bazillion-features but buggy and broken app any day of the week

    Will check that out

    What? It work for me flawlessly.

    Doesn't exist anymore in the AUR

    [โ€“] Voltage@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    it works perfectly well for me. im even posting this reply connected to protonvpn from AUR [garuda-linux]

    [โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    It doesn't even exist anymore, you are probably using something old.

    Except, it is.. Click on upstream link and first you see on the readme on github is this: copyright (c) 2023 Proton AG

    [โ€“] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Isn't that the majority of AUR?

    [โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    Not really, most of the AUR points to the official source. And in this particular case, the actual Proton team was actually managing the AUR package.

    [โ€“] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

    Neat, I've been using endevourOS as a secondary distro on my laptop (it's the only OS installed) for a few months now so I'm still learning lol.

    [โ€“] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Exactly like this package. There is always a upstream link, this is it for proton: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app

    Damn why no one told me about this??

    [โ€“] Molten_Moron@lemmings.world 2 points 2 months ago

    Agreed, but I am glad they at least have the option to set it up through WireGuard.
