I wish they would make a flatpak

If you're using an immutable distro, you can still use mullvad. I've had no problem if I download the rpm (I'm on Bazzite), and install it as a local package. Only annoying thing is that I have to manually update it, but it's really not hard.

Yeah, it's easy enough on bazzite, but it's such a pain on the steam deck to get a VPN working. I haven't been able to do the manual config lately either

Proton VPN flatpak on steam deck works great though

SteamOS is not that different than Bazzite... Can't you go into desktop mode, download the RPM from the mullvad site, and install the local package using "rpm-ostree" in command line?

You could try CachyOS on the Deck, I used it for a few months and it worked great. It's practically the same as SteamOS but with pacman and paru available, with all the advantages this brings.

I sold my Deck and bought a Legion Go, and I'm also using CachyOS here. Same results.

Use distrobox to install it from another distro.
