for the person starting out in some non-beginner computer hobby shit, there and github you see .tar.gz and all sorts of other shit to choose to download, and for me at the time at least through a forum where a dude didn't just say to fuck off, I got to know how to recognize what the fuck I'm trying to get, but that was a lucky break

its not that hard, you just gotta spend some time exploring it outside when you actually want something from it.
and if nothing else, you can just install the violentmonkey addon, search "sourceforge/github userscripts" and theres probably a userscript on one of the sites that show up that gives you a nice, easy to spot normie download button til you get your nerdlegs.
