I didn’t say it was, I’m just answering the dude’s question

The official Proton client or Open VPN with Proton credentials?

Great explanation. Quick follow up question.

One thing I necessarily will want to install is Proton VPN*. Per their website,

Our app officially supports the latest stable Ubuntu LTS version running the GNOME desktop environment. It should work on most distributions based on Ubuntu, but we haven’t tested them and therefore do not officially support them.

This makes it sound like it will only work on gnome DE and implies it won’t work on Ubuntu with KDE (for example)

*ok, so I’m also aware that you can use Proton VPN through open vpn somehow but for the purposes of my understanding of distribution vs DE, let’s just ignore that for now.

I have installed and used Ubuntu in the past. Now I’m exploring a project that uses a raspberry pi and I’m running into terms that I don’t know how to distinguish between.

This article is conflating terms that I need help distinguishing between. The other commenter mentioned that Ubuntu is a type of Debian but this article lists Debian and Ubuntu as distributions.

Awesome. Thank you. So I understand why a debian package wouldn’t work on Fedora, but are there Kubuntu packages that wouldn’t work on Lubuntu? Otherwise is there “Kedora” and “Ludora”?

Like when new people join, they know they’re in the right place

On the other hand though it is nice to have a common name. Like I’m in a group with the other parents of kids at my kid’s daycare. Sometimes you want the name to be common, sometimes you want it to be individual.

Honestly it’s kind of annoying. I want to name the chat after their relationship to me. Coming up with something that we all have in common with each other is a lot harder

Yeah I’ve been thinking about this. The group chat with my inlaws is called “PIL” for parents in law. I’ll have to come up with something else. But there are so many iterations of family groups chats. Parents in law, parents, siblings, siblings in law, and every combo thereof

That said I believe it will improve over time. It has to, in order to be useful.

That doesn’t mean it has to. Let me introduce you to dozens of other Google projects.

Thank you! I edited the original post. I’m running Lineage OS now!

Duuuuude… They couldn’t just take that extra step and broadcast the location? It would make both types of trackers far more useful

Aren’t the Apple and Android networks supposed to be working together? I thought that’s why Google delayed this, because anyone could be tracked without knowing by a tracker on the other network.

I can’t wait for Proton to ship Drive for Linux just so we can get a different complaint as the top comment on every Proton thread

Then why doesn’t Apple open up anything else? Think I want to buy a Apple Watch and connect it to my Android?

Huh, that’s weird. Are certain features behind a pay wall? I definitely don’t have a paid subscription and I’m using it right now to organize a trip. I use it like less than once a year for the last 5 years or so.

I assumed their business model was using their in-app money transfer feature and like taking a cut or hoping people forget to cash out or something. But you don’t even need to do that, you can sync Venmo or even mark transactions as paid in cash

Edit Oh, I see. I don’t think it’s required

I use splitwise with my friends but I did zero research and just joined because they did. It works well and is super flexible when it comes to splitting expenses. I doubt it’s Foss.
