Hi guys,

I am currently using Linux Mint with automatic updates installed and I keep seeing application updates from LibreWolf, LibreOffice etc.

I have downloaded these through the application manager as well. But what about applications that I install outside of the management, such as the Mullvad browser, are they also automatically updated via the update manager?

    If the installation set up updates using apt, even if it uses a separate repository server, then Update Manager should still update them. I have personally seen updates from third-party sources show up in Update Manager. For example, I’ve installed Proton VPN using these instructions and it does receive updates using Software Manager.

    If you installed Mullvad using the “Ubuntu/Debian” instructions here, then I think it should get updates through Software Manager, but I haven’t tried this browser myself.

    For any other software, it depends on how it’s distributed.
