MFW the email client gets an AI writer and we Linux users still do not have a drive client. (media.giphy.com)

I tried rclone and it freaked out at regular ping intervals and instead deleted everything on the drive. GG. I want to like you Proton but your decisions of late are ASTHENATE. I wouldn't have minded the crypto wallet release if basic features on the core apps were remotely coherently finished. The AI writer add on for a local model doesn't even work on Firefox. For people supposedly embracing the FOSStyle, this isn't the way. /rant

Yes but for 6% of the userbase. It's frustrating but I can understand them prioritizing other features.

@Dave @fossilesque Where did 6% come from?

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

It was in my head from somewhere, so I went back trying to find out where. I think the number probably comes from this article, in which for VPN users, 6% asked for better Linux support.

They mention Linux in other sections(e.g. Drive) but only as part of the "Other" category and they don't quantify it.

However, the smallest category separately listed for Proton Drive has 8% of the vote, so it's definitely less than that, and it would make sense for it to be around 6% like the VPN one.

6% asked for better Linux support.

I didn't read the article, but is that 6% of users, or 6% of requests?

If it is the former, you also have to factor in the amount of people didn't request anything at all. If 25% of people requested something, then 6% of all people is actually quite a large portion of requests.

Although Linux users would probably be more likely to be asking for support, so still a vocal minority
