On Linux, you only have /dev/net/tun. It can work both as a "tun" and as a
"tap" device. Tinc will automatically use it in the tap mode when you use Mode
= switch.

There is only one /dev/net/tun file, but each program that opens it gets its
own network interface, or if you use tunctl, it can access one you
preconfigured.

No, if you want to use the tap0 interface, add the following to tinc.conf:
Interface = tap0
If you do not specify Interface on Linux, tinc will use the netname as the name
of the interface.
