Currently, our Linux installation workflow requires a dependency not installed by default on popular distros like Fedora and Ubuntu: the unzip command.
I propose that our primary Linux build be changed to a tar.gz file, to remove this dependency. Any installation commands that use unzip will be easily replaced by a corresponding tar command.
This is a simple issue, but I think it is worth doing. I think it will make installing Deno just a little bit more frictionless, which in turn might just get us one more enthusiastic, creative user. There are reasonable scenarios in which this might prevent one from using Deno. E.g.- what if you don't have sudo access on a Linux workstation without unzip? Then you probably can't install Deno.

Uff. Yeah, I was trying to install on Linux, but was also tripped up by the missing .tar.gz archive. The standard archive for Linux is tar.gz or tar.xz.
It's kinda a funny situation because I thought Deno 2.0 was supposed to reduce the number of dependencies I had to install. I definitely don't want to install unzip just for Deno.
