It's not a bug, it's a feature! - programming.dev

I’ve been a Proton Unlimited subscriber for some time now. I’ve always had an issue on Proton Mail (Android) when composing a new email it comes pre-filled with a number of blank lines in the body. Definitely a minor issue as it hadn’t been fixed for a long time I decided to file a bug report. This was Proton’s response: >Currently, this is the expected behavior when you are composing a message through the Proton Mail Android application. >Please kindly note that other users have expressed their opinion regarding this behavior as well and we have added your vote for this feature improvement request. Basically: it’s not a bug, it’s a feature! Is there actually anyone out there relying on this “feature”?

Is there actually anyone out there relying on this “feature”?

    What’s missing for Linux? I use Linux + Proton & haven’t noticed anything missing?

    Well, on second thought there is no Linux GUI version of their VPN is there? I prefer terminal apps though, so this never bothered me. But I could definitely see that as an annoyance to others.

      VPN GUI exists but it is terrible. CLI works great but still there are so many missing features. WireGuard and Stealth protocols, for example. Linux users are stuck with OpenVPN. There is no port forwarding either. It’s available on Windows, why not on Linux?

      Then there is Drive Sync client. They released a beta for Windows and clearly stated that they have no plans on developing a Linux client in near future.

        They do support Wireguard on Linux. I’ve run it for a long time. You go to the website, and in the settings there’s a config generator for both OpenVPN and Wireguard. All you need is Wireguard installed. I did modify a few settings in the config to allow local network connections to bypass the tunnel and it works great. No port forwarding though.
