I am still a nix/OS novice by any account, but from my understanding this does not make any sense, because this is for overwriting the gui package and not for “enabling” it as the text suggests or am I missunderstanding something? I wanted to double check before editing the relevant page.

:I understand the confusion. That's a packaging quirk with how we implement Mullvad in NixOS. | |||
:The default value for that option is <code>pkgs.mullvad</code>, which is just the CLI tools. <code>pkgs.mullvad-vpn</code>, on the other hand, includes both the GUI and the CLI tools. By changing the value of the package option, you can choose to install the GUI or just the CLI tools. | |||
:So, if this is a non-graphical system, such as a server, use <code>pkgs.mullvad</code>. If this is a graphical machine, use <code>pkgs.mullvad-vpn</code>. | |||
:Hope this helps! [[User:SigmaSquadron|Fernando Rodrigues]] ([[User talk:SigmaSquadron|talk]]) 08:36, 10 February 2026 (UTC) | |||
