Re: PET & SFS Programs Compatible With Bookworm Pup64
Audacious Audio Player Version 4.3.1 Compiled from source in BookwormPup64 This build uses GTK2 rather than Qt5. Most of the optional dependency plugins are included and working. A few of the "chiptunes" ones have been left out. MIDI playback is working out of the box. A tiny and basic sou...

Hello Rappel25, Well, /opt/MullvadVPN/resources is actually a path to a directory rather than a file (if the symlink is in place to resolve the issue of the space in the name).
