Hurray! I successfully solved! After a fair bit of trial and error (I was right) it worked. I think it was a version problem, so the OS version I currently use (Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS) didn't match with the version of the program I tried to install. After finding the right one, it worked as planned. I'm slowly beginning to really like the Ubuntu workflow, it feels more streamlined and organizing software, files etc. is rather easy and intuitive (after a while).
So I found another big thing: hidden files. I had to debug an Atom package and all the internet advice sent me to a hidden directory, /.atom. Couldn't find it so I searched help - again - on the internet. The dot before the name hides the directory, file or whatever. This can be solved by pushing `strg+h` inside the files or - for checking it in the terminal - `ls -a`.
I'm slowly beginning to really like Ubuntu, even though it at times can be frustrating. It's a love-hate relationship. The great thing about Linux is: it does what you tell it to do. The bad thing about Linux is: it does what you tell it to do. I think as soon as I'm settled in with all the software I need and am comfortable with everything, it'll be a very enjoyable experience working on Linux. What I really need to get into are the different file-types on Linux. I'm sometimes not sure how to do installations or what to do with other files. But I think this will improve over time.
