I love VLC. I also love mpv.

I like to think that VLC is for window users for them to get a taste of what it’s like to use Linux.

Yikes it was just a joke guys

pico gang rise up!

Cool but it’s windows… If you’re going to be serious about privacy there’s a lot more that needs to be done, like switching to a Linux distro.

Welcome to our over-securitized late stage capitalist hellscape. All so companies can push out these bogus ‘tools’ and eat more of the state budget and profit like the crony capitalists they are. Not the first time. First as a tragedy, second as a farce.

Can we for all that is good get more Linux support? there isn’t any proton drive application for Linux. The excuse? Not enough available linux devs.

I dont have the numbers but who does proton think a good chunk of their customer base is or can be? People who use Linux because they value their privacy.

Its mind boggling.

Its 'coming, ’ whatever that means.

Welcome to Linux. You’ll learn, and for the better, by using it more. Like picking up anything new there will be difficulties at times, but well worth it. The first positive on your list is good enough reason that makes any difficulties worth surpassing.

Agreed. I hate the direction this is going towards but I’ll just find other avenues.

Well. I appreciate the honesty… I guess.

I also am a fan of dwm.

The wonderful thing about open source projects is just use the code and move on.

One can modify it as they please if needed, but if the code has no crappy political baggage then so be it.
