How do software updates work on Linux Mint? (feddit.org)

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?

Did you install using the tar.gz? If so I'm pretty sure you have to update it yourself.

You do, except in cases where the app bugs you to update daily, like Firefox (unless you agree to let it update auto whenever they want it to.)
