He tried reading the SD image on Linux and that didn't work either.

The author eventually recovered their files using 7-zip, which is a Windows program.

p7zip, the portable version of 7-Zip works on Linux, macOS and other Unix systems as well. It also has a Debian package.

It's been available on all linux distros I have tried.
