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.

On immutable fedora it can be done via

rpm-ostree uninstall mullvad-vpn --install mullvad-vpn

# after reboot, if not working

wget https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mullvad.repo

This command won't work.

Better? I was not sure did it with cd and forgot the parameters for wget XD isnt it -O /path/to/destination/ ?

I think you can just replace wget with curl.
Alternatively -O - I think.
You can't use the path directly because of permissions. And you shouldn't run wget with root permissions.

Yes thats why I did that and seperated it from the wget as I also think thats not the best idea

Okay fixed it. Damn thats weird, I think I just used sudo wget X -O /path/ but not a good idea I guess.

Because wget doesn't use standard output for the downloaded file by default, instead it creates a file with the name in the url in the workingdir. If you want it to use standard output you need -O -
