I appreciate the thought but which would you choose:

Full time minimum wage US worker at $7¼/hr or $15,080/yr vs $20,000 one time purchase?

I agree with you that these things are likely underpaid labor (maybe including literal slavery, or job conditions close enough to count anyways), but I don’t think your argument is going to be convincing to anyone actually considering getting one.

… obviously /s

Hard disagree - the point is a decade ago there wasn’t enough Linux market share for bad actors to target Linux. Proton is a compatibility layer, which while technically being a sandbox, it isn’t designed around security the way a browser sandbox is. It would not be hard for a virus embedded in a made-for-windows program to identify that it’s actually a proton sandbox, then deploy a Linux-specific payload (assuming the malware designer gave it some forethought for that situation). Heck - there’s plenty of viruses that do their work in scripting languages that don’t care what OS you’re running on.

Love the runic stylistic choice. Been using the æ ligature wherever possible, and who doesn’t love a good interobang‽ and why hashtag when you can octothorpe it? But thorn runes over th? Brilliant!
