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.

    Usually the *-bin version just means it downloads the already compiled binaries instead of compiling the program on your computer.

    You should also always check the PKGBUILD for something suspicious. AUR packages are put there by users, and are not verified.
