I am an absolute Linux baby running Mint23(?) on my PC. I wanted to play an ancient game from my childhood that I cherished but I don’t really know how to get it off the Internet Archive onto my computer.

The game

Any suggestions?

    You probably know this already, but I thought I’d just mention here for OP and others: That’s what the # at the beginning of the command implies (the command needs to be run as root), commands that can be run as a normal user are often denoted by $.

      Neat! I’ve been using Linux for years and I didn’t know that distinction. If it doesn’t work as a normal users, I just enter sudo !!

        Friend of mine has an alias for sudo named fucking and with some ZSH scripting (or whatever your preferred shell is) he also made ffs to execute sudo !!.
