  • 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.


  • The main advantage over Minecraft is unrestricted modability. Luanti is just the voxel engine, you can run hundreds of different “games” on top of. Aside from the obvious mining and crafting types of games (including VoxeLibre which is a direct clone of Minecraft) there are also games with completely different gameplay - platformers, arcade etc.

    The mods and games are easily downloaded from within the game.

    Also - free, open source, community run. Not owned by Microsoft. So that’s nice.

    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.
