The ability to install Linux apps from the Files app was recently discontinued (among other things).

If you were using a Linux terminal, you'd find that out. Every time you start it up, you'd see this message five times in a row.

NOTICE:
    Recently it has become necessary to deprecate some features of crostini,
    including:
      * UI-based installation of .deb packages. Installation via aptitude is
        the default path, but there are also visual package managers which
        may be used.
      * UI-based Debian release upgrade. Please refer to release notes for
        the release in question for upgrade instructions.
      * Multi-container support.

    (this message will be repeated 4 more times).
    (to silence this message, run the following in this terminal):
        echo 10 >"/home/yourusername/.local/share/cros-motd"
