What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs? (lemmy.world)

I recently wanted to run tegaki, and my experience is pretty much summed up by the meme. I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but I just couldn't figure out how to compile it. So I just gave up, downloaded the .exe and put it into a fresh wine prefix. After installing CJK fonts, everything ran fine. Now I'm trying to get gpaint...

I'd like you to guess which one of these is fake:

  1. How do I install Hyprland on NixOS using Flakes?

  2. How do I install systemd-dispatcher on Void Linux RC?

Edit:

OP has answered, the answer is

that the second one is fake, the first one is real.

technically not, rather, they're unix-like since unix was a proprietary system

Do you not know what a tar.gz is? it's like a zip file. how are you supposed to install it automatically? the structure inside is unknown.

also, it's commonly used for things like backups.
