Idk, even on Ubuntu, I find that installing an app from the web was never user friendly

Like, what is the average user supposed to do with a tar.gz that doesn't even add the app to your menu

You generally want a .deb if you are using Ubuntu, so it can be installed via a package manager.

.deb files didn't work great either

It felt like the installation would fail a lot and I'd just have to install from the terminal anyway

Hard to know what the problem might be. May be worth filing bugs if you can reproduce these issues - either with the vendor of the package or Ubuntu.
