It should as ARM64 is supported:

Mullvad it is not Security, looks something better than.
Edit: I mean based on the nature of the L5(kudos for purism), the L5 deserves all the Best and Pure as it is.

Installing the app using the Mullvad repository
The Mullvad VPN app is available via our repository servers only for Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora. If you use another unsupported distribution based on Ubuntu 22.04 or newer that uses systemd then you can try to install it using the manual .deb installation instructions.
So that means l5 can’t use Mullvad with factory settings?

PureOS 10.3 ‘Byzantium’ is based on Debian 11 ‘Bullseye’, so you can use these instructions to install it on the Librem 5:
# Download the Mullvad signing key
sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc
# Add the Mullvad repository server to apt
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable bullseye main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list
# Install the package
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mullvad-vpn

can it be done for the signal app as well? I found this:
Linux (Debian-based) Install Instructions
# NOTE: These instructions only work for 64-bit Debian-based
# Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Mint etc.
# 1. Install our official public software signing key:
wget -O- https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | gpg --dearmor > signal-desktop-keyring.gpg
cat signal-desktop-keyring.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
# 2. Add our repository to your list of repositories:
echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main' |\
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
# 3. Update your package database and install Signal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
Let me know what you think please (for L5 only).

No, Signal Desktop only supports the AMD64 architecture, not ARM64. An alternative Signal client you can use on the Librem 5 is Flare:

Why does my systemctl Say Pureos 10 (Byzantium) and not 10.3? is it because I haven’t done update/upgrade using terminal?

Point releases are only explicitly defined on the PureOS website, not internally from the operating system.
