Trying to install the rpm manually by layering it just errors out for me. Someone else on here said that for him it bricked his entire system, so I’m not exactly fond of attempting to brute force it - especially with 4 year old instructions for another distro.
I don’t know bazzite but if you just want to use your vpn you could create a wireguard config on the Mullvad site and use this in any NetworkManager. So no direct need for the Mullvad appliction.
FYI, this isn’t true. I’m on Bazzite and I’m currently using MullvadVPN and Mullvad browser.
You just need to use rpm-ostree to install it. I don’t remember the exact way I did it, but the documentation is out there. Just search for “silverblue” instead of bazzite. Or better yet, maybe even just “mullvad vpn fedora rpm-ostree” would probably get you in the right direction.
So first off: This isn’t just about you. Other people read this, and your comment is just flat out wrong. I am typing this comment on my laptop, running Bazzite, using Mullvad VPN (that took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to install).
Second, I was literally just trying to help, why be a dick?
So highly ironic, just like the instance you’re on. Jfc
I hope one day when your system fails you understand that not everyone has the same experiences as you.
Still not a fan of the limitations of an immutable system. Can’t even install Mullvad. :/
This GitHub issue claims you just need to install the rpm, enable the service and reboot, has anything changed in the meantime?
In my limited experience with Tailscale, it was about that simple back then, at least.

Use rpm-ostree
You’re literally replying to my comment stating how I tried that and how it bricked someone’s system.

The top options here don’t work https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=24.05&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=mullvad ?
I’m using Bazzite, not NixOS.

Cool. See my reply to that comment then.
