I'm on cachyos Wayland (hyprland) and none of the GUI options worked for me, including the flatpak. The AUR protonvon-cli-community worked out of the box though.
paru -S protonvpn-cli-community
protonvpn --help
Thank You.
Is it because of hyprland in any case? I'm using plasma though, so I have to try myself it seems.
Also, It's just that I prefer more of a GUI way. (Doesn't mean I hate terminal or anything)
I don't know why it didn't work. I just tried all the options until something worked and didn't care enough to try to fix the options which didn't work.
Makes sense.
Reminder that proton doesn't give a shit about linux support (for any of their products) and you will be better served in the long run supporting a company who supports you. Not one who uses privacywashing as a sales tactic but is perfectly okay ensuring their products only work (full feature support) on corporate spyware OSes. This creates yet another barrier keeping their customers on w1ndows/mac which completely defeats the purpose of using proton services if your OS is sending everything to gemini anyways.
What's wrong with using the aur package?
So i don't have do step 1.1 and 1.2 ? Directly install aur package mentioned in 1.3?
Referring this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ProtonVPN
If I'm reading that correctly, yeah all you should need to do is install the AUR package. 1.1-1.3 in that section are different options that don't depend on each other.

I think that particular page needs to be bit more concise.
Thank You.
It's common for arch wiki pages to give multiple options for software to install.
I mean it's never mentioned anywhere that they are multiple options. It's just say 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3, so I got confused. Maybe it's because I'm new to Arch.
