I was just looking at this recently and, at least officially, the web app is the only way to use Proton Drive on Linux, though they did recently give their 2026 roadmap and this support is listed!

As far as choosing a distro, not sure of your previous experience, but Linux Mint is usually a safe recommendation.

@geofftc@mas.to Yeah, I was going to go with Mint, but then someone said Proton - which they were trying to work with - was abandoned there. Maybe I just have to opt for something other than Proton. I use their Drive more than anything (and mail, but I can do that on the website if need be).

@geofftc@mas.to Using Proton Drive on the web isn't the end of the world, if it works. I was planning to go with Mint to start off with, but when I heard their Proton compatibility has lapsed, it made me wonder about other options. I'll figure all this out, I just find it helpful to ask questions here because there are a lot of Linux users.
