Tutanota has got a Linux app, and the Android app is available on F-Droid.

I love what both companies are trying to achieve with building private ecosystems, but for me Linux must always come first. Everyone who loves privacy has switched to Linux by now.

I use Linux as a litmus test, is that the term, to see how serious a company is about privacy. Without a Linux presence, it's privacy marketing or just lip service. I might still use the product on another OS simultaneously, but I need to know that the control point exists.

They have a way to run thunderbird by running a local bridge. I don't really want their desktop client anyway. I do use their android app which is decent.

I only use Linux and I am happy with proton.

You can use Proton Mail on Linux already via our Proton Mail Bridge: https://proton.me/mail/bridge. We plan to make the Proton Mail Linux native app available in early 2024.

Tutanota also supports notifications on non-GCF phones like GrapheneOS, while ProtonMail unfortunately does not.
