Proton isn’t reinventing the wheel with this crypto wallet. But it’s another solid option for people looking to create a crypto wallet for the first time. However, cryptocurrencies tend to be a polarizing topic, so let’s see if Proton Wallet doesn’t hurt Proton’s brand image in the future.

    But… Why? Who asked for this? Instead of stuff like this, can we get feature parity with at least the Android app when it comes to the Linux VPN app?

      Why do you need a VPN app? Using wg-quick from the command-line on Linux is dead-simple. I’ve hated every VPN app I’ve used, but I don’t hate wg-quick. Take advantage of WireGuard support being baked into the kernel. :)

        It takes me an hour or two to learn wg-quick every time I have to do it.

        Not just the one program, but managing the keys, god help me if I need to figure out routing again.

        Some might say “git gud scrub” but some might also say, for some there is wg-quick, for others there’s a gui somewhere

          I suppose. But once you’ve done it once, you can usually just reference an existing config and change the 1-2 things that need changing. The Arch Wiki is super helpful, and it’s really nice to be able to have it start on boot.

          To each their own, I’m glad both options exist.
