Instructions or a way to install the app on unsupported linux distribution

[calexandru2018]

Hey @vysdel , so this is a bit of a complicated topic.

We want to support as much as possible, but if we'd introduce manual installations we'd overwhelm ourselves with distributions that we do not support, and thus loose focus on what has to be done. We'll provide official manual installations as soon as our app gets a bit on par with the other platforms, until then I can leave some instructions here that you can try by yourself. Note that this is not officially supported so do at your own risk:

Install the packages in the following order and make sure you're doing it inside a venv:

• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-core
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-logger
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-killswitch
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-killswitch-network-manager
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-connection
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-network-manager
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-network-manager-openvpn
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-keyring-linux
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-keyring-linux-secretservice
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-session
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/python-proton-vpn-api-core
• https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app

Depending on the distribution you might need also nm-applet (naming convention might vary), network-manager-openvpn and gnome-keyring installed and up and running. Also have NetworkManager running and properly configured.
