OK, and where did you say you used rpm-ostree? I was just trying to help… And not just you, but others. Because, as I said, I’m literally using Mullvad on Bazzite as we speak. Your comment was flat out false, and I felt the need to correct it…
I have no fucking idea how you could possibly brick hardware by trying to install an application… I never got anywhere close to doing anything that could have possibly had consequences like that.
It took me like five minutes to install Mullvad VPN on Bazzite.
FYI, this isn’t true. I’m on Bazzite and I’m currently using MullvadVPN and Mullvad browser.
You just need to use rpm-ostree to install it. I don’t remember the exact way I did it, but the documentation is out there. Just search for “silverblue” instead of bazzite. Or better yet, maybe even just “mullvad vpn fedora rpm-ostree” would probably get you in the right direction.
Edit: For the person who claims they bricked someone’s system while trying to install a vpn application… I don’t even know what to say. I would actually love to hear how that is even possible. Especially on an immutable distro… Do we have different definitions of “brick”?
So first off: This isn’t just about you. Other people read this, and your comment is just flat out wrong. I am typing this comment on my laptop, running Bazzite, using Mullvad VPN (that took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to install).
Second, I was literally just trying to help, why be a dick?
I don’t know bazzite but if you just want to use your vpn you could create a wireguard config on the Mullvad site and use this in any NetworkManager. So no direct need for the Mullvad appliction.

This GitHub issue claims you just need to install the rpm, enable the service and reboot, has anything changed in the meantime?
In my limited experience with Tailscale, it was about that simple back then, at least.
