I used tee -a because that is how I have seen it recommended. If it works without then do that instead.

Replying to remind you.
The one-line command I recommend for install Mullvad’s RPM repo is as follows:
curl --tlsv1.3 -fsS https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo | pkexec tee -a "/etc/yum.repos.d/mullvad.repo"
My explanation: This curl
command enforces strong TLS encryption and pipes the fetched repo file to the tee
(append) command, which requests to run with root permissions and appends the file to the specified path. pkexec
is useful instead of plain sudo
because if the current user isn’t in wheel/sudo groul it requests the local admin account to authenticate.
You can shove anything in /tmp, it is (by default) read/writeable by all users/groups. Plenty of user apps create files/folders in tmp
Uses the heavily deprecated XOrg display manager. XOrg has no isolation of windows from each other, meaning any app can record your screen without notice. All XOrg apps can also log keyboard presses arbitrarily. Since all apps share the same display server, they can easy correlate keypresses (text) with what app it is entered in, kinda like Windows Recall. Cinnamon, Mate, and XFCE all use XOrg. Cinnamon still doesnt default to Wayland.
