From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My sincerest apologies. I misread the thread and thought you were advocating for Proton, which IMO is a questionable company. Thanks for the clarification.
I use both. Proton fits most of my needs, Murena does the rest. I'm not attached to any of them though, if I'm given good enough a reason, I'll drop Proton immediately
At least you're open to moving on. I think keeping an open attitude in any scenario is prob the best option. For most people, I'd recommend they keep using whatever works for them. If you're happy with Proton then switching may just cause frustration. However, if you're very much security focused and also care about things like being able to access your calendars/contacts in the apps you want, then I'd prob suggest just using SimpleLogin for email with their GPG feature, vaultwarden for passwords (you can still use the BitWarden phone apps), and Nextcloud for Calendar/Contacts which also supports DAVx for mobile.
I do use the SimpleLogin aliases, it's one of my favorite services they offer. Most of my web storage (which I barely use anyway) and calendar and stuff is all Nextcloud
