Didn't got there yet, will keep in mind, thanks!
Regarding the name changes of the components and tools, it seems Quartus 15.1 was the last version with Altera naming, then starting from Quartus 16 the naming was switched to Intel.
Since the DECA training workshop was made with Quartus 15.1, I've installed 15.1 in a Kubuntu 20.04 virtual machine. Some names of the software components, and some Quartus menu entries are named different in more recent versions, so for somebody that didn't work before with Quartus, I recommend using 15.1 in order to be able to follow the workshop labs. Not to say 15.1 is smaller in disk size, so it will save you a lot of GB.
The only thing to take care for the Quartus 15.1 to run on recent Linux, is to manually download and install libpng12.
=====================
- if missing libpng12.so.0, with Quartus launch error:
$ ./quartus
quartus: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- Download libpng12 for the correct Ubuntu version from
- http://ppa.launchpad.net/linuxuprising/libpng12/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/
(or e.g. for xenial - https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libpng12-0/download)
- sudo dpkg -i ./libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1+1~ppa0~focal_amd64.deb
(for ubuntu 20.04 focal fossa)
To find out what other Altera components might be there to evaluate, all the extra tools seems to be listed when opening the "Design Software" menu from the official download page:
https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/20.1.1/?edition=standard&platform=linuxDon't count on the drop down boxes called "Select edition:" and "Select release:", they doesn't seem to be working properly (for example when selected the 15.1, only Quartus Standard is displayed to download, for Quartus Litte 15.1, one should navigate to Quartus Lite through the left hamburger menu "Design Software").
For the Q1 answer, I guess following the entries from the download page will reveal all the other tools or components Altera used to have.
For Q2, still looking for more tutorials and/or project links.
