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

https://mullvad.net/en/help/install-mullvad-app-linux

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.

    This sort of thing happens dragnet. And mullvad users are definitely a group to be targeted. Dont assume OP isnt a refugee or journalist and give them bad advice that could get them killed

      If OP is a journalist or refugee at risk of being targeted and killed, my advice is don’t use a VPN, use TOR lol.
