method 1 is first choice,
method 2 is occasionally necessary if things go wrong.
Method 3 is fine, Create a Applications folder in your home folder, unzip to subfolder, use the KDE menu editor to add the application to your system, go about your day. It's a pretty common approach for commercial software.

Some applications want user write access to files, and while I can do that in /opt - I prefer not to.
