and add repositories and then apt get update all and then reboot and then try to install my program and then turns out I added the repositories for the wrong version of Ubuntu and now I gotta add the right one

and also I can’t double click someting cause it will open it up as a text file instead of an executable.

I work with multple programming languages daily, I’m not computer illiterate

As a computer programmer, I'm assuming you're aware of the right click option to mark a file as an executable?

Also, Ubuntu has a GUI for repositories management.

Every answer I get on this subject is either whataboutisms or gatekeeping.

If you were a computer novice then I could maybe understand your criticisms more.

A novice would have a learning curve for anything new that they just started to use.
