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.

      The average Windows user doesn’t know what a terminal is, let alone use it. Whereas in Linux every user knows what a terminal is and has used it at least a handful of times.

      Some distros don’t have an app store, just the terminal.

        The average Windows user knows that command prompt exists

        The average Linux user comes from Android and has no clue about terminal

          Bro, I’m an IT Support Technician and Sysadmin by profession. Trust me when I tell you the average user has never seen the command line.

          Move a shortcut on their desktop and they freak out because they think the pc deleted all their work. No way in hell they would touch a terminal.

            I’m aware, someone asked how to download a video so i told them just paste the url in command prompt (yt-dlp) and they said it’s not worth it

            But no one I know even knows how to get to CLI on Android
