Linux users rarely download a standalone .exe or .dmg. Instead, you add the official QGIS repository to your package manager.

For other distributions (Fedora, openSUSE, Arch), visit the official QGIS download page and select your distribution.


Your "qgis 328 link download" journey does not end at installation. To maximize productivity, perform these post-install steps:

  • Set a Projection Default: Under Project > Properties > CRS, enable on the fly reprojection and set your local CRS (e.g., EPSG:3857 for web maps, or EPSG:26986 for Massachusetts, USA).
  • Customize the Toolbar: Right-click any gray area of the toolbar to add or remove buttons. QGIS 3.28 has over 20 toolbars – hide those you never use (e.g., Digitizing, Database, Web).
