I am a Linux newbie. Got Sleepyhead working in Windows10 last year and I haven't used the software much for awhile. I am switching over to Linux Mint. I've downloaded and installed Mint 19.3, which I understand to be derived from Ubuntu and Debian.
Not a Ubuntu user, but you might have better luck with OSCAR. And it is actively supported.

In Mint there is "Software Manager" and I searched for Sleepyhead and found it (1.0.0-beta-2+dfsg-4) and installed it. But when the software install was complete I couldn't find it doing a search.
Uninstalled it, than tried installing it using the Synaptic Package Manager, in case that would make a difference, and I get the same results. It completes the install, or at least doesn't give an error message. But when searching for it the Linux Mint Menu (lower left corner) it doesn't find the application.
Any Linux Mint users?
Sleepyhead is dead, murdered by it's creator.
Get Oscar.

I built and ran Oscar from the HEAD of the git repo a few weeks ago on Mint 19.3.

Well, not only do I not know how to compile from source, which I am assuming you mean when you say you built it, I don't know how to find it on github. Can you point me to it on github?
thx

Have you tried looking on the Oscar page linked above?
Hint: look down.
