Not meaning to be (too) snide by posting this here, but maybe now Proton could give Linux users a little more love and attention?

    Proton Drive for Linux (easily the biggest pain point for Linux Proton users) is on their roadmap: https://proton.me/blog/drive-roadmap-summer-2025

    At the same time, we’re continuing to improve the SDK — preparing it for public release and ensuring it provides a solid foundation for the upcoming Linux Drive app, a popular favorite on the community wishlist.

    Better late than never! However the wording is a bit vague and it doesn’t explicitly say Drive for Linux will release this summer. I hope it will though.

    I know it’s just part of the reason, but there’s one more thing we can be thankful for to Microsoft. I hope they keep butchering Windows, and slowly but steadily they make business applications and multiplayer games transition to Linux.

      We have two giants to thank: Microsoft for making themselves a public enemy, and Valve/Steam for making Linux more attractive than ever for gamers. In no small part this is thanks to Valve’s Proton (no relation) for running Windows games on Linux.
