Do I still get updates if I install from .deb file?
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,

My bad, just read further in mullvads documentation and they do state that Mint requires manual installation. If I understand it correctly you will need to follow these instructions to install updates as well.

in reply to Dop • • •Flatpak has annoyances like sometimes not following your icon theme, or just generally looking out of place because not picking up system defaults.
It works but I avoid it. On arch Linux, there is a huge AUR repository where users have made native packages, and thats usually much better than Flatpak. But on Ubuntu, Flatpak is the only option sometimes.

in reply to Dop • • •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
In fact to the contrary this references install for mint

Got to the section that says
"Download and install the app"
