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,

I'm already married, but, would you marry me? I'm guessing you're probably very useful to have around.

Haha, thanks for the kind words but I did forget to add the source. I did not figure this out by myself. The link

I just told my wife she's going to have to share now🤣

You give the info, and then a link to the source? There's still hope for humanity 😉

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
