slow and does not seem to actually work.
If you want real support, you should say more than "it doesn't work"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I installed protonvpn from flatpak and its working fine.
The GUI version was working a month or so ago, but a recent Tumbleweed update broke openVPN when using port forwarding via natpmpc. Bug report here https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236718
Wireguard on the Proton GUI client on Linux is experimental, don't use it except for testing. Use the manual setup, and make sure to test for DNS leaks.
Are you running KDE or Gnome? If you're using Gnome, there's an extension to manage wireguard. I flip a switch in the top bar, and done.
Depending on the DE you use, there's a chance that theres something to manage VPN connections from the network manager, so you dont have to use the actual protonvpn app and still can use their servers
you can download protonvpn config files for that here: https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads
