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.

Yeah but connecting to a new connection in command line is even faster
protonvpn-cli c -fTrue. I made a bash script for that, and it runs on boot. Super easy and seamless.
I like having a visual method, and having it in my connections menu makes the most sense to me. But fair point, the CLI route is quickest.
Protonvpn also has a gui though. I mean I think having the openvpn setup has some advantages since some systems might not be natively supported or don't have the need for changing servers, however, I've tried using that on my personal devices and it just wasn't for me.
Hey fair enough, to each their own. I like my method because it feels 'native' to the given DE, like it was included by default. I've used multiple gui apps from different providers, don't really miss any features they had that my method doesn't.
