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.

I don't think PIA uses RPMs
mullvad is a better choice anyways. you can also download a wireguard config and load it directly into the network manager
While I agree, it's a pretty lame thing to say "This doesn't work for your use case? That's because your use case is wrong" If the distro doesn't support PIA, then that is an issue with the distro, not the user.
Nah, it's an issue, full stop. PIA isn't responsible for making its shit work everywhere (tho it would be a more responsible approach to use an universal approach) and Bazzite isn't responsible for making sure every program works on the distro.
Yeah, I agree
