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

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.

I went with OpenVPN because it's installed on Ubuntu by default. Wireguard needs one extra apt-get command.

I don't think that Wireguard is more secure, its's simpler and thus easier to audit, but OpenVPN was audited to the gills already.
