    to be fair if it had an update button, that should have been enough for it. you don’t need to run commands because this is the Linux Way, but because better solutions are not there yet

      I mean, aptitude and Synaptic update packages or the whole system fine. It’s just that Mullvad has no business trying to do that itself.

        apt and synaptic is not really user friendly though. but something based on packagekit can show a better program ctalog, and even provide automatic updates, or even just reminders that there are new updates.
