This can either be done via terminal (something like “apt install blender”) or via a graphical program like Discover for the KDE desktop, in which case it’s literally just like a mobile app store where you search for the program, click “install” and that’s it.
There are some alternate ways of installing programs, which can involve downloading from a website, but that’s for getting the very freshest release of a program or for very niche projects that aren’t included in the distro’s software repository yet.
So if you’re an android power user it’s exactly like that, most apps come from the store, but some apps you have to download from the web.
