Is there any reason NOT to switch to ProtonVPN from Mullvad?

Use cases: privacy, torrenting without getting a DMCA letter.

OSs: Linux, Mac.

I know there was a reason I didn't pick up Proton years ago when PIA got bought by Kape but I don't remember what it was. I'd read something on /r/VPNTorrents but that place has since been banned so I can't refer to it again.

Android. In fairness I've never noticed an issue with macOS or Linux

I've noticed it lack robustness on Linux. There's a pretty solid chance it just craps out without reconnecting (I'd say it craps out once every two weeks on average) so I'd consider that if you plan to pirate with it.
