That rule sounds nice, but people can have very different expectations. This is a rule that shouldn’t be followed strictly.

It’s like NordVPN but a bit more private.

  1. They don’t require an account (username/password) for you to use. You pay them for an account number and use Mullvad VPN by inputting it.
  2. They were about to be raided but they managed to get out of that with their lawyers.
  3. It’s also very easy to use on Linux because there’s a GUI, which is great. CLI seems overkill for an app that needs to be turned on and off (i.e. NordVPNJ my old VPN).

It’s overall nice.

I’m having issues too. I’d just use a VM at that point xD. With Bottles it’s usually hit or miss but with a VM, almost anything works. Sorry friend🤧

Edit: my virtual machine manager of choice is GNOME Boxes because it’s very easy to use. If it doesn’t work it usually means KVM or SVM (one of them) is disabled in your BIOS.

Not sure. I guess it depends on the software you’re trying to use. Watcha downloading? Maybe I can try it on my end.

It’s a thing that’s built on top of wine (Windows application compatibility thingy). Its purpose is to create environments for Windows applications in a very user-friendly manner with a GUI. I think whatever you can do in Bottles, someone could do with the terminal using wine but that’s difficult.

Haven’t used Bottles in a while but you just get the .exe file like you would when using Windows OS, then you put it in the Bottles, and it should run. I have no clue about the details, but if you click enough buttons, it should work properly.
