You're essentially limited to the browser for Calendar or Drive (but Windows/Mac are also limited to browser for Calendar), but everything else at least functions using their associated apps or extensions. VPN doesn't have all the features of the Windows or Mac versions yet but Proton is working on that. It's recommended to use the CLI for VPN instead of the app since the current app's functionality will limit you even more. They have a new app in beta, though.
OK, yes, i thought most things would probably work, apart from (automated) Drive. I did not know that VPN still had limited features though, so thank you for letting me know! I will check out the CLI Thanks for your reply.
This can help you with the CLI - https://blog.aiquiral.me/proton-vpn-linux-guide/
It is annoying to set up but works exceedingly well afterwards. And one alternative is to use the browser addon if you only use the VPN browsing Lemmy ;)
