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,

    Mullvad repo doesn’t work in mint. The .deb does not update automatically. You have to download it manually every time you want to update it.

      Ok, thanks. Am I still notified by Mullvad whenever there’s an update available? I’ve seen another user mention that it is the case.

        Yep it does that, and it gets annoying. I’m switching just because of that, just don’t know where yet.
