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,

    Where does mullvad say it’s not meant to be used on Mint ? I literally have it running on 5 mint devices.

    Can’t see that on their website at a quick search

    Saying it is not supported is not the same as not meant to be used

    In fact to the contrary this references install for mint

    https://mullvad.net/en/help/install-mullvad-app-linux

    Got to the section that says

    “Download and install the app”

    For a command line explanation

    Honestly though just download the .deb and double click on it out of the folder to get debi to install. It’s all gui and easy
