This is an extremely useful feature, for some Netshield is not enough, and being able to use NextDNS with support for DOH, or any other DNS service would be ideal.
Like IVPN does in all their clients.
Update: There is a custom DNS option in ProtonVPN, but it supports only IPV4 and it’s only in the Windows client.
As much as I love Proton. They seriously need to up their client consistency game especially on the Linux side of things considering that is about 40% of their desktop market share.

I do not know where you got these numbers from, however the 40% aren’t correnct. The Linux userbase amounts to less than 1%, atleast on the VPN side. I do however think that this number isn’t very different accross all the userbase.
The truth is that we have Android > Windows > iOS > macOS > Android TV > Linux users. And Linux users amount to less than 1%.
That being said, a new Linux VPN client is currently in development and can already be tested out, more information can be found in the support page as well as on a reddit thread. If you do not rely on a kill switch (depending on your threat model), you could already test that out.

That’s interesting. I would think most people willing to pay for Proton would also switch to a more private OS, guess that’s just a small minority of us.
