Well, if one is about setting up a system anyway, then switching to Trisquel 9 might be a good idea. If you have a system and don't necessarily want to upgrade the OS, then I do not recommend this approach. I remember I also was in this situation, but fortunately Mullvad offers OpenVPN configs for download, so the kernel will not be an issue at all. You just install OpenVPN in a modern version and use the OpenVPN config with it, instead of trying to run the Mullvad client. This is also probably more aligned with Trisquel and free software ideas, unless Mullvad client is free software as well. As written in that other e-mail, you can install OpenVPN through Guix fairly easily, once Guix package manager is installed. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Guix package manager has free software exclusively (?).
