How can I use NordLynx in the NordVPN app for Linux

NordLynx is the technology we built around the WireGuard® protocol. It lets you experience WireGuard’s speed benefits without compromising your privacy. It is available on the Linux application in CLI and GUI versions. We offer .deb and .rpm packages compatible with Debian 11 or newer, Ubuntu 20.04 or newer, Linux Mint 21 or newer, Raspberry PI OS, and Fedora 32 or newer systems. Community-supported distributions may also work, but there is limited troubleshooting regarding distribution-specific issues. Moreover, we support GNOME and KDE desktop environments. This guide will teach you how to enable the Nordlynx protocol on the Linux CLI application.
