Electrum-Dash on Linux = wtf?

Do I assume that the 102MB linux file contains separate 32 and 64 bit versions? As if a 40 to 50MB file isn't already far too large - not everyone has so much internet bandwidth to spare... The linux archives of Electrum Bitcoin and Litecoin are both 2MB.

And once that bloated file drags its arse through the download, then what am I supposed to do with it? The file isn't recognised as executable by Ubuntu 16 and dpkg doesn't recognise it...

Not impressed.
