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.

    Lolwhat? It is the same in any distro: adding the repo and installing the app.

      It’s not like that on NixOS

      There’s no adding repos, you just put mullvad-vpn in your system packages list

      Yeah, the only odd thing is installing the signing key, but it’s there for a good reason.

      That said, it’s not a great user experience, especially if you start stacking a lot of ppa’s.
