Can we get Linux apps?

I just saw today that there is now a desktop app in beta for Windows and macos. As a privacy conscious person on Linux I am stuck as a second class citizen using proton services because there are no Linux apps besides bridge.

They recently explained that they lack linux developers. They are very much aware of the need to have good linux apps, but they can't find developers
- where do i apply lol
  
  Here you go:

- there isn't exactly no linux developers. I get what they mean but I also feel like there is talent out there.
  
  What they said: "We have no Linux developers."
  
  What Linux users heard: "They're looking for Linux developers!"
  
  What they probably meant: "We don't want to pay for Linux developers."
  
  Talent that hasn't applied yet or that they haven't scouted out.
  
  I'm just copying what they were saying on an AMA, see https://phtn.app/post/lemmy.world/9249279
Hmm, another electron app? I’ll stick to Firefox.
