From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

More useful if you have several email addresses, you can more easily check all of them in one place
My hope, for proton, would be improved search functionality. Currently search only works for email subject, not body. It's really lackluster.
FYI, you can enable a local index for message content searches:

Proton seems on the wrong side of the usability - privacy spectrum. Every last feature I'd want from an online provider is impossible or massively neutered by the overly strict security.
I wish there was a similar service in a trustworthy country with a more sane level of safety, like opt-in encryption for example.
mailbox.org has pretty good pgp key integration and will encrypted all emails that come in with a public key of your choosing.
