  • With .tar.gz software usually the steps are:

    1. Extract the archive
    2. Find a file with the .sh extention - that’s the shell script. It will most likely be named something like install.sh
    3. Make it executable - by right clicking and enabling it in the properties or by opening a terminal in this folder and using a command:
    chmod +x install.sh
    
    1. Run the installer in the terminal:
    ./install.sh
    

    It might ask you to run it as root and quit. In that case put a sudo before the command above and it will ask you for your password

    sudo ./install.sh
    

    And tbat’s it, installation should begin. Follow the instructions in your terminal.

    Then Arch is kind of a terrible choice for you. I use it (btw), but I’ve been using linux since 2008.

    The learning curve and constant need to troubleshoot things isn’t great for beginners.

    EDIT: can someone explain why I’m getting downvoted? Isn’t this common knowledge that Mint and other begginner-friendly distros that don’t have complicated package managers and require less configuration and maintenance are better for someone who’s just starting with Linux?

    I myself began with Ubuntu back in '08 but nowadays use both Arch and Mint.




  • There can be no checks and balances on a state.

    States only act in a way to preserve themselves. If that means by helping the working class - so be it. If it means oppressing the working class - that’s ok too. As long as the structure and elites remain in place.

    Which is why authoritarian state communism always degenerates into a kind of state capitalism where the owner class is the state instead of capitalists. In communism there is no owner class
