You're trying to use Gnome the way you're used to using a desktop.
If you try and learn the Gnome way, you'll have a better time.
To be honest I had the same problem when I first went from Windows to OSX, I was struggling, trying to make OSX familiar, but when I decided to learn the Apple way, everything became easier.

On Windows you have to download the latest drivers from the manufacturers website and install them manually, that's crazy!

Well you've jumped to conclusions there, I'm not talking about the war but Billionaires in general and their respective countries in general.
Billionaires have too much power, live outside the existing system of government and laws, gained their money and power through exploitation and in general are undemocratic.

This is why billionaires shouldn't exist they are treasonous
You don't, a tar.gz is an archive format like zip or 7z
Technically it's two formats a tarball - all files combined into one file, tar - and then compressed into a gzip.
To uncompress and release the files run:
tar -xzf filename.tar.gz

What happened? Chrome happened with massive marketing from Google, it's amazing Firefox held on like it has.
Hopefully Firefox can make a resurgence, but they don't have Google money

Yes, I prefer Gnome to KDE by a long way, it's much nicer looking and easier to use, the trick is to use it the way it's intended, instead of trying to control it to work how you think it should
This is Nintendo's point, making use of the prod keys goes against the DMCA
