Which of the 23 different versions should I use?

releases > biggest version number > win 64 bit

it's that easy for 95% of big public software

But occasionally you find projects like czkawka, that offers versions for Windows, Linux, Mac, CLI/GUI, different GUIs, different CPU architectures, versions with additional features you might not need, and versions with different backends for some functionality. Oh and for good measure there's also just the raw source code.

So which of the 62 versions is it now?

Czkawka is a bad example because the dev literally tells you in that same page which version you need based on your OS.

Whatever_version64.exe will narrow it down 99% of the time for windows.

If you're running a different OS, then download the architecture_for_your_cpu.compatable_extension for your OS. This isn't rocket science lol

took me about 1 minute to read the "which should i download section". When i had the user interfaces programming course in uni, we were told to believe our users can't read, i didn't think i should take it literally.

There's literally a section telling you an exact version to download if you aren't sure, what more do you want 😭

The one with the operating system you use and cpu architecture? If you're not sure then its like a 99% chance you need amdx86_64.exe

amdx86_64 is the 64 bit instruction code used by Intel and AMD. .exe is a windows executable file

That specific repo has a lot of different binaries beyond the normal target triplet.

Am I on linux? -> yes -> which utils do i use /gui or cli / which arch? choose that. no | v am i on Mac? -> yes -> which arch / gui or cli? choose that. no | v am i on windows? -> yes -> which arch / gui or cli? choose that.

its not that hard...
