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.

I think it may be because I had installed the steam flatpak beforehand I did doa full delete of it but maybe something in this file didn't get cleared?
I'm definitely not the most experienced Linux user yet so I don't even really know what I would be looking for that would be suspicious or not correct in that file
in your shoes: i would take a look at the file and delete it if it's empty or if you don't have a need for openvpn.
be warned, though, that openvpn might be a dependency for something else; so it may be smarter to rename it and see what breaks. (then restore it if it turns out to break something needful).
