New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux? - eviltoast

Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I’m doing here. Can’t I just download a file and install it? I’m on Ubuntu.

      I went with OpenVPN because it’s installed on Ubuntu by default. Wireguard needs one extra apt-get command.

      I don’t think that Wireguard is more secure, its’s simpler and thus easier to audit, but OpenVPN was audited to the gills already.
