How to verify integrity and authenticity of downloaded application? #542

Hi, I am looking all over the web page, but I cannot find SHA256 (or similar) sums for downloaded applications so that I would be able to verify their integrity and authenticity (on Linux, which I use, that would be with tools like sha256sum and gpg or similar). Something like Linux Mint has on their web page (and let us not forget that hackers hacked their servers and planted their version of ISO file) or Ubuntu Linux on theirs (https://linuxmint.com/verify.php and https://www.ubuntu.com/download/how-to-verify).

So, how can I verify that I have downloaded correct version of application, i.e. that I have not downloaded version that was in any way manipulated by third side (and planted on a web page in a download section)?
