If I install software from .deb file, do I still get the updates & upgrades when I run sudo apt update / upgrade ? Or is flatpak the way to go? I’m not very familiar with flatpak, so I’m trying to avoid, but it seems that cons are limited. I’m currently running mint cinnamon (how original, I know), and asking because i can’t seem to add mullvad-vpn stable repo. Thank you for your help,
I’m not a Mint user but I would assume the Ubuntu/Debian install instructions on Mullvad would work on Mint as well~~https://mullvad.net/en/download/vpn/linux~~
My bad, just read further in mullvads documentation and they do state that Mint requires manual installation. If I understand it correctly you will need to follow these instructions to install updates as well.

It’s reasonable advice. Mullvad is literally the only time I’ve found the ubuntu instructions to not work on mint
Prismlauncher has a similar issue, basically you have to sort of “convert” the Ubuntu instructions, thankfully there’s a flatpak.
