Hi, while I am a loyal customer, the sheer lack of attention or concern toward linux really grinds my gears. It has been brought up quite a few times that spreading yourself too thin when it comes to launching new products might be the reason for this, granted this would not be a cause of concern if applications for linux were on par with its mac/windows counterpart.

I also believe a large proportion of Linux users would be paid customers compared to windows users despite the overall low percentage of linux users as a whole.

That being said, would you consider making changes into your Business model such as offering discounts/reduced cost for Linux users? Two reason why I believe this would be appropriate/justified.

  1. fair to say that current apps for linux are either non-existent or half-baked. In this case, Linux users would be more like Beta-testers.

  2. This would give windows/mac users an incentive to switch to Linux, ultimately making everyone more private. Is not that not the mission/premise that Proton as a company is working toward?
