Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    It's a shame that Proton VPN has no official flatpak. The Arch Linux AUR package's been broken for a long while now.

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 8 points 10 months ago

    Its crazy that they have a Flatpak though.

    MullvadVPN wouldnt work because they do really privileged stuff to hook in your connection, block it on early boot etc. Your device is pretty much airgapped.

    A flatpak cant do that.

    [–] Tyoda@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Yeah. The protonvpn-gtk-app (or something like that) AUR package works fine, though. Really barebones but does the job.

    [–] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    I'd take a barebones but functional app over a one-bazillion-features but buggy and broken app any day of the week

    [–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

    Will check that out

    [–] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    What? It work for me flawlessly.

    [–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

    Doesn't exist anymore in the AUR

    [–] Voltage@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    it works perfectly well for me. im even posting this reply connected to protonvpn from AUR [garuda-linux]

    [–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    It doesn't even exist anymore, you are probably using something old.

    Except, it is.. Click on upstream link and first you see on the readme on github is this: copyright (c) 2023 Proton AG

    [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Isn't that the majority of AUR?

    [–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Not really, most of the AUR points to the official source. And in this particular case, the actual Proton team was actually managing the AUR package.

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Exactly like this package. There is always a upstream link, this is it for proton: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app

    [–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

    Damn why no one told me about this??

    [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

    Neat, I've been using endevourOS as a secondary distro on my laptop (it's the only OS installed) for a few months now so I'm still learning lol.

    [–] Molten_Moron@lemmings.world 2 points 10 months ago

    Agreed, but I am glad they at least have the option to set it up through WireGuard.
