I can't seem to find the applet for Anki, and I can only open it through the terminal, why? I followed the installation instructions. But I suppose my only qualm is I kind of entered the command "tar xaf Downloads/anki-2XXX-linux-qt6.tar.zst" like two, three times. How do I fix this? (The program itself, works fine btw, I just have a hard time accessing anki without the applet)

I'm not familiar with that installation method, but isn't that just unpacking the tar file?

If anything you might want to add an entry to your XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/anki.desktop.

You can use this if the anki.desktop file is missing:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Anki
Comment=An intelligent spaced-repetition memory training program
GenericName=Flashcards
Exec=anki %f
TryExec=anki
Icon=anki
Categories=Education;Languages;KDE;Qt;
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Version=1.0
MimeType=application/x-apkg;application/x-anki;application/x-ankiaddon;
#should be removed eventually as it was upstreamed as to be an XDG specification called SingleMainWindow
X-GNOME-SingleWindow=true
SingleMainWindow=true
StartupWMClass=anki
