You still need to build it from source though, and THAT is the hard part that I haven't been able to go through.
I haven't tried the method of extracting a deb file, which could be one way of doing it.

The only limiting factor I've found so far is that proton-client 0.5 or higher is required and only 0.4.1 is currently available from a pip3 pull, even if I install 0.5.1 manually. No idea why.

EDIT: Updating with final solution.

proton-python-client-0.5.1

pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
python3 -m setup install --user

protonvpn-nm-lib-3.3.2

pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
python3 -m setup install --user

linux-app-1.0.1

python3 -m setup install --user

By default the protonvpn.py program will install in ~/.local/bin. It gets it up and running, and I suppose one day I'll figure out how to do the tray icons as well, but for now this is fine. I suppose we can consider this thread closed.

@HustlinTom Is there any reason this shouldn't be considered for inclusion in the repository, it seems like a valid request to me unless there's something I'm missing?

protonmail-bridge for instance was included.

The devs typically have been of the mind that avoiding duplicates of software is the best way forward. Granted, I'd really like it if ProtonVPN, Mullvad, etc had GUI clients on Solus, but I don't know if they'd be alright with that since they're all a bunch of VPN GUIs instead of one customizable one like Qomui was.

Didn't know protonmail-bridge was native now, so I'll be switching off the flatpak version I was using!
