You may need to mark the mark the program as executable. Depending on your Linux distro, you may be able to do this by right-clicking on the file `Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64`, selecting Properties, clicking the Permissions tab, and ticking "Allow executing file as program".

Alternatively you can open a terminal in the Digital-Logic-Sim folder, and run the command:

sudo chmod +x Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64

You should then be able to launch it by double-clicking the Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64 file.

Will this work on Chromebook too? Mine uses Arch Linux, but I really only somewhat understand the debian side of things. I also don't know how to open a terminal in a specific folder.

Edit: I figured out the terminal bit. I ran the command but nothing happened.

If the Chromebook uses x86 CPU architecture it might work, but I've no idea if the specs are good enough. The chmod command just sets file permissions, and the +x option means make it executable (so you can run it as a program). There shouldn't be any output from the command. But you should now be able to launch the program - i.e. double click the icon or type:

./Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64

It still just says "file type not supported" when I click on it, but entering the command you showed did open the program. Thank you!

./Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64
