I am new to Ubuntu 14.04, how can I make my software work with my Ubuntu 14.04. What do I need to do? Do I need to download any software or driver to make these work? What are the things that I need to remember before doing this? Give on how to install my applications from Windows 8 to Ubuntu? Show me also how to change the format of my USB drive? On the steps we’re going to tackle, what are the best things that I need to remember that might be a good help in my future work?

Please help me!

Thank you!

If you are trying to install an application like a game client on Linux, the best way to do it is with Wine. Download the latest version of Wine from Wine HQ and install it on Linux. Once installed, start Wine then install the game client from there. Another way you can install a Windows-based program on Linux is with a virtual machine.

Since most applications are Windows-based, the easiest way to install it is under Windows environment and you can do this by creating a virtual machine. Visit the VirtualBox download page and download the version for Linux distros. Once installed, start VirtualBox then create and configure a virtual machine that will run Microsoft Windows.

Once the virtual machine is created, install a version of Microsoft Windows on that virtual machine. Before installing Microsoft Windows, check the system requirements of the program you want to install then among the supported operating systems, pick one and install it on the virtual machine. Once Windows is installed, install the program.

Now, formatting a removable drive like a USB flash drive is very easy just like with Windows. To format, plug your USB flash drive on the USB port then open the File manager. In the File manager window, locate your USB flash drive, right-click it, and select “Format”.

In “Format Volume” dialog, enter the name of your drive in “Volume Name” then select the kind of file system you want to use for the drive:

  • Ext4
  • NTFS
  • FAT

When you are finished, click “Next” then hit the “Format” button. And that’s it.
