tar --help should be valid, right?
~~Ten seconds to fully comprehend the help lines and execute it on the first try.~~
~~There is a reason I have macros for that.~~
Edit: Oh wait. ANY Tar command... Clever solution
tar -help
-xf
dpkg -i ...
Leave me alone, I had to try it. And yes I've tried it before.
People in the comments seem to be confused. "Archived" as in compressed to a tarball, or "archived" as in no longer maintained?
Second, I thought all linux users find software at github like me But when I was linux newbie, even tar archives were hard to open
Or they are just joking. That's how it looks to me anyway.
that feel when you use gnome and the extension you need is incompatible with your newer version and turns out to be no longer maintained 😢
And then there is this Pull Request that could just be merged and released, but the maintainer didn't even look at it and you have to install it manually from git.
Good news btw.: One that I desperately needed got upgraded yesterday and now works with my Gnome version.
Some projects achieve total perfection and require no more support. No, I can't name any.

Do not used that word, you are bringing up my PTSD.
