"Maps": as others have suggested: OsmAnd and OrganicMaps (I use OsmAnd as it covers my needs better than Google Maps or other apps)

"Dating Apps": There is Alovoa

but the problem is who you will find on there, as everyone is on other apps

I use spicetify just to get an improved shuffle function.

like Remmina?

I wish there were more Open Source games.

I would love to see an Open Source alt to AlchemyRPG

I love using their scenes when playing DnD online, but their privacy policy leaves a lot to be desired

appflowy.io is getting really good as a notion replacement

Or an update where they delete all your files again.

These both happened to me. I was already looking into switching to Linux in 2020, and the last update did it for me. Have been only been using Linux at home ever since.

kde connect allows you to use the phone as a trackpad

That's what you get for making a joke about his wife

Now come bang his wife like the rest of us.

Only thing I can think of is by adding the repo you get updates with your system. This makes it more secure by having patched software.

It might not be good advice, but that was not what OP asked for.

My comment was meant as a beginner-friendly way to install Mullvad VPN on Ubuntu, and not unsolicited advice telling them to learn something that should not be needed for daily computer usage. And while adding the repo might be the better solution, that would require the use of the terminal, and as multiple people have proven to me, that wouldn't be a friendly way to introduce Linux to someone just starting out.

You don't teach someone to swim, by dropping them in the middle of the pacific.

If you go to: https://mullvad.net/en/download/vpn/linux

And click the "download .deb" button (It says underneath "Works on Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+ (64bit only)". As long as your Ubuntu is up-to-date, this will work fine)

you get a file ("MullvadVPN-2023.6_amd64.deb") you can run just like on Windows (similar to MullvadVPN-2023.6.exe)

opening the file should open a GUI for installing the file

Keep in mind, to update Mullvad VPN, you would need to download a newer .deb file (after an update is released). It shows the latest version above the download buttons, below the "Mullvad VPN for Linux text" This is the same as how it is on Windows

Edit: This is not intended as good advice, just a simple way to install Mullvad VPN. The smartest solution would be to add the repo.

2nd Edit: While this is how Mullvad provides their software, it is never ideal to install random .deb packages or add third party repos without being sure that the ones who provided the package/repo is trustworthy.

"Let me engineer you a new password"

Yuo, sounds about right

There is an app called Obtainium. This allows downloading signed apps directly from source

That is old(ish) news. And f-droid have since then implemented allowing reproducible builds

which allows for developer signed keys to be used for the APK

Found the person who think that only America have rural areas with terrible transit.

https://distrochooser.de/ is a great tool that help to understand what the different distros can do.

Also, you should probably know that selecting a distro is more about selecting the underlying OS and less about the UI (DE). Most distros support the top 5 Desktop Environments (DE for short). And selecting a DE can be just as important.
