Sorry, I hope my inexperience brings a little humour to someone's day. :)

you are mixing up packages!

if you want to run poom from pico8, download the standalone version.

What you’ve got is a binary package that you can run directly from your Linux shell.

Don't lose too much hair over me, haha! :D I've got the standalone, but it does the same thing - that is to say, I don't know what to type in and do for Ubuntu for doing this:

mkdir poom 
<path to pico>\pico.exe -home . 
cd poom\carts 
REM change xx to actual version number 
unzip poom_standalone.xx.zip

When I right-click the "poom_1.9" file in the "poom_1.9_linux" folder, and select "Run", it doesn't do anything. When I do ./poom_1.9 in the command line it gives the error: "error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

you need to install SDL to use the "binary" version:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0

Huzzah! That worked; thank you, Sir!
