Edit: thank you all for your answers, much appreciated to make an informed choice about the switch to linux.

As per title. I want to get rid of windows and switch to linux. I use all the proton products, both on android and windows. Is there anything i need to take into account, concerning proton? I know there is a linux version for vpn. But i seem to recall there isn't yet for the drive app but it was in the works? I have no idea how long that would take though, this year, next year?

I use proton stuff on linux. Vpn works, email works with a kludge called protonmail-bridge, drive only works via browser interface which is a hassle because it can't be automated. Password manager works as a firefox extension. I don't use calendar or contacts. Happy customer.

rclone has support for Proton Drive. It's in beta I think. Unfortunately Protons API isn't published so rclone's implementation is a reverse engineered one and may not be reliable long term.
