New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I'm doing here. Can't I just download a file and install it? I'm on Ubuntu.

This post is proof that Linux desktop isn’t as good, perfect and polished as everyone says it is. Stop living in the delusion.

Do you even use Linux?

Yes and I do and while it is great for infrastructure, magnitudes better than anything Microsoft ever offered as a reasonable desktop it's a fucking a joke.

You're deluded if you think that "everybody" let alone a large minority of people say that the Linux desktop is "good, perfect and polished".
