"New to Linux – How to download something with Linux?"
Hey everyone! Just switched to Linux (Ubuntu btw) and I'm kinda lost lol.
How to download something with Linux? On Windows, I just clicked exe files, but here... idk where to start.
Do I use the terminal? The software center? Or just a browser like Firefox?
Also, what's the deal with .deb and .rpm files? Which one do I need?
Any noob-friendly steps would be awesome. Thanks!

"Struggling with downloads – how to download something with Linux properly?"
Alright, Linux fam, help a newbie out.
How to download something with Linux without pulling my hair out? I tried googling but got hit with a wall of terminal commands.
Is there a simpler way? Like, can I just download stuff from a website like normal? Or do I *have* to use the terminal?
Also, why do some downloads come as .tar.gz? What even is that??
Pls explain like I'm 5. Cheers!
