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.

    That’s what I hated as a beginner on debian/ubuntu as well. On fedora it’s straight forward. Adding repo and then isntalling the app.

      Yeah, how Ubuntu is supposed to be noob friendly and continues to be recommended blows my mind. Seems like every stupid app you want to install needs you to add a ppa that is almost guaranteed to break on the next major update. And ugh snaps …

        Believe or not many people who know little Linux world always believe Ubuntu is the de-facto Linux itself.
