Unfortunately I have no other option since I am using Bluefin (based on Fedora Silverblue, i.e. atomic distro) and they seem to refuse to build the Flatpak themselves

You gotta do what you gotta do.

My first Linux distro was Silverblue. I tried installing the vpn using instructions from protonapp without success. That was the beginning of my annoyance with Proton's Linux support.

I had to move to Workstation so the Proton apps would install.

It's against Silverblues whole design to install and layer packages, I'm surprised they even provided instructions...
