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.
No dont do that! Their repository is newer and you need to always have a GPG verified download.
Really please stop advising people to randomly download native packages or Appimages. Repos are so much more secure and the default way.
True, this specific app may prompt users. But for example on immutable distros installing local packages suck, while from a repo you dont have to do anything. And also not every app warns about an update as this should be unnessecary if people just had automatic updates
