How to download something with Linux? Easy-peasy.

1. Browser downloads: Same as Windows. Click, save, done.
2. Installing? Ubuntu’s got a Software Center—use it.
3. Terminal? `sudo apt install [package]` is gold.

.deb for Ubuntu, .rpm for Fedora/etc. Ignore .rpm if you’re on Ubuntu.

.tar.gz is a compressed file. Extract with:
```
tar -xzf filename.tar.gz
```
Or just right-click > Extract Here.
