I am an absolute Linux baby running Mint23(?) on my PC. I wanted to play an ancient game from my childhood that I cherished but I don’t really know how to get it off the Internet Archive onto my computer.
Any suggestions?

You might need to add sudo, OP
You probably know this already, but I thought I’d just mention here for OP and others: That’s what the
#at the beginning of the command implies (the command needs to be run as root), commands that can be run as a normal user are often denoted by$.“Linux is for everyone! No need to learn anything new” lmao.
You should need to learn code to open a file imo.
Most distros you can just open it, like on Mac.
Of the two comments explanation how to do it, one using terminal and other UI, this one is shorter and will work on any Linux. The UI method is more complicated and will only work in a specific distro with specific DE.
So year, you should learn to code.
You call that “learning code”? What are you, an AI tech bro?
Is terminal code not…code?
The biggest put off to Linux is the absolute shit community it has
Commands are normally not considered “code” on their own. Someone who just runs commands on their computer to get a few operations done will normally not learn any programming constructs or concepts. If you’re doing shell scripting that usually crosses the line into code as you’d be using if statements, for loops, etc, which you normally don’t use if you’re just moving files around or whatever in the shell.
All new things will require some learning and getting used to. If you think that is crazy you should see how to get windows to only search for local files
Dude inise Linux, have a long time…windows is just easier. Then Mac after that and then Linux. The whole community wants everyone to switch to Linux but then screams at you because you don’t want to type 3 paragraphs in a terminal to get one program to open.
If you want to search only local files for windows. You just go that file and search.
Or you could search in file explorer.
Or use Everything, which is a lot faster.
