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.

    Simpler software is usually just inherently more secure, because there are less attack surfaces. You can audit stuff but there’ll never be zero bugs. Also, Ubuntu doesn’t include Wireguard? I thought that would just get pulled in as a dependency/recommendation of NetworkManager or one of its plugins.
