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.
People here saying you can just download and run the .deb just like the .exe
Aren’t you forgetting the “add +x permission” step?
I’m pretty sure if you double click a .deb it opens in Discover (or whatever the app store thing is called) and from there you can install it.
Whatever it’s called will depend upon whichever one you choose to use. There are options even there.
A deb file will “run” in the package manager process space, it doesn’t need to be executable on its own
