Fedora Kinoite and ProtonVPN
Fedora Kinoite and ProtonVPN
Good Morning everyone!
I am currently running fedora kinotie 41 and am trying to figure out how to install protonVPN on it, I would prefer the GUI version but that is just me. I can't seem to find any guides or anything online and I would appreciate any help!
Thanks!

Add the rpm from protons website then rpm-ostree install package name.
This is one of the situations where layering packages is appropriate.
Why should it be layered?
Because that is the only way official to install the Proton VPN app on Fedora systems??
What about the flatpak?
The flatpak is unofficial. It's maintained by someone from the community.
That's very true. It's probably safe, but even still, it's safer to use the layered package. I should've pointed that out. Thank you for reminding me. (-:
Only use it if you (can) read the the Flatpak manifest and make sure its safe. Clone the repo and build it yourself locally if you trust the code but want to recheck each update.
Only way to install it with support for port forwarding on Fedora Atomic spins.
This is what I do for Bazzite and Mullvad.
I can't get it to update through the repo while layered, so I've had to uninstall and reinstall using the new rpm each time. I keep saying I'm going to get around to troubleshooting it and then forget about it until the next update.
