That's not how you install stuff on Linux normally. For users like you who refuse to learn new methods, you should use you app store. That might be called Discover on your distro or maybe something else, but it's probably there. You then search for the application and you're done. It's the same concept as Android (because they're both Linux and sensible and are using a package manager).

Alternatively you can use the terminal to search using the package manager and have it install it from there. I find that faster and easier than using a GUI, but the GUI option is there and dead simple and easy for people who can't be asked to learn how to use the most basic tools on their computer.

It's not how you "normally" install stuff on Windows or Mac either. But often times the software you need isn't available in a package manager. If everything was available as a flatpak I would take it all back, but that doesn't even remotely resemble reality.

It is neither of those things. Objectively.

The phrase you're looking for is "can't be arsed" but you're wrong anyway. The problem is not that we "can't be arsed", the problem is that it's an unnecessarily convoluted and unintuitive process.
