Im told there is a linux program that runs window apps?
one thats stable. for Ubuntu? i thought it was called WINE but thats not right I guess. WINE is just a ap maker? im a newfag to linux (sort of)

WINE does let you do this, and PlayOnLinux, which is a nicer front-end for retards.

Don't run the installer just plug it in and mount it.
It should show on the desktop.

depending on the applications you might be better off setting up a vm in virtualbox

It's been more than 10 years since I fucked with Linux. Wasn't winex better for windows gaming? Something to do with directX libraries or something?

I dunno, I tried using WINE for games a few years ago and it was a nightmare trying to get the GPU drivers to work properly. lately I have a windows desktop I treat like a games console and a more 'serious' lunix laptop.
it's not even really the difficulty of getting everything working, it's the messy mix of open and proprietary code coming from 10 different sources that breaks every time one of them updates something

That makes sense, never gonna get it all on the same page at the same time.
