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.

Yeah. I've just started using SB a few days ago AND decided for Mullvad. What a coincidence...
AFAIK you can just install the rpm via rpm-ostree and reboot. I have to look if this also works with tool- or distrobox.
Or, if you don't rely on the client, just set up your connection using the native import function of Gnome/ KDE.
But for now, Silverblue is great and I don't feel like it restricts me at all tbh. I just wouldn't recommend it to newcomers, since you have to find a few workarounds and try other approaches as with Ubuntu for example.
rpm-ostree installs the client, but it hasn't worked for me as the service is blocked, it's the same with the ovpn/wireguard method using gnome's network manager. Could be something simple I'm missing with Nix I had to enable it as a service, I haven't used SB for a fair while now but have recently used micro which had the same issue.
