Proton VPN offers a Linux GUI app (with a graphic user interface) and a Linux CLI.
We officially support Linux on Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora running the GNOME desktop environment. An official Snap package is also available, and we endorse (but not currently officially support) the Arch packages maintained by a third party.
Reports indicate that our Linux GUI app and Linux CLI work on Linux Mint (including running the Cinnamon desktop environment), but support for Mint may be limited. If you’d like to try Proton VPN out on Mint, follow the instructions for how to install Proton VPN on Ubuntu.
However, if installing the GUI app, please skip the Linux system tray icon (optional) step, as the gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package will install the entire GNOME desktop environment as a dependency.
