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.

    +1 there is something nice about just downloading and double clicking an exe.

    Maybe they should have a common file format for all distro that extracts, etc. for the current distro. I thought that was flatpak, but idk.

      They have the .deb at the top of their download page, no need to install the PPA repository if you don’t want. You can’t get any more than “just downloading and double clicking an exe deb” than that on Ubuntu.

      I will admit though, I wish there were an easier way to install PPAs.
