You can easily add them by following the instructions on their site.

On immutable fedora it can be done via

curl -o - https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mullvad.repo

rpm-ostree uninstall mullvad-vpn --install mullvad-vpn

# after reboot, if not working
sudo systemctl start mullvad-daemon

I can’t tell you how, because I don’t know the technical details either, but why shouldn’t it be? If given the right permissions it can access the same interfaces as any process.

I ask because to my knowledge, Flatpak applications don't get access to the system interfaces that are needed to control VPN connections. There isn't a portal for it to the best of my knowledge and the way that VPN connections are handled differ between distros.

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.
