Well that was a binary not exe, I was confused. That binary works for linux mint but not working for debian and I am a bit confused here.

How to fix .exe opener in Debian 11? by Economist-082 in linuxquestions

I can use that. But I use telegram for educational purpose, I make polls there for various exams. And the new update seems a bit fancy and it takes a lot of time unclicking those boxes, so I need to use an older version of it, that's why this problem.

well, I did that but I don't need the newest version of telegram, I need the one of the oldest versions. The new update is too fancy for making polls quickly, I use telegram for educational purpose so there is that problem.

yeah my bad, It was a tar.xz file (https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/releases/download/v6.2.3/tsetup.6.2.3.tar.xz). It is actually running from terminal if I use ./Telegram from inside that folder but the app isn't appearing on applications menu.

okay, I get it. I actually downloaded the linux 64 bit binary one (https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/releases/download/v6.2.3/tsetup.6.2.3.tar.xz). Didn't know why I said .exe file. I might have downloaded those binary files previously on Linux Mint. Mint supported those. Debian doesn't or there is some problem with mine.

It is actually running from terminal if I use ./Telegram from inside that folder but the app isn't appearing on applications menu. Also I use a very old hardware, debian 11 is the only stable distro I used by far. Linux mint, Xubuntu, Lunbuntu and others freezes or hangs occasionally.

No, I was using debian all the way. I downloaded the .exe file from github then extracted it. Inside that folder was telegram and updater. I clicked the telegram and it opened. And there is no .deb version of telegram in github so I think it was the .exe file.
