There are about 30 different ways to do any single thing and whatever way you choose is guaranteed to provoke 17 neckbeards into writing essays on why you’re wrong and, while they’re at it, you also picked the wrong distro.

My favorite one is
"Oh linux is easy these days, you don't have to even open the terminal"
"Haha noob why did you install the flatpak version, never do that, always install everything as .debs through terminal"

You can just click on debs in your file manager, no different from an exe in that aspect.. but sure, i guess you could run an exe via cmd if you really wanted to

Haha oh yes, it's just whenever I search for some solutions it feels like I end up finding at least one reply with the instructions to use terminal only for installing
