  • You should try a front-end for wine. I have posted an answer explaining a couple things for you. – Zany_Zachary1 May 14 '21 at 13:53

  • Wine does not work well with all software. We cannot answer this without knowing which software you intend to run. Many software have excellent free and open source alternatives. – Archisman Panigrahi May 14 '21 at 14:06

  • Windows software is not meant to be run on Ubuntu. You usually need something like Wine or use Windows OS in a virtual machine. Quite a lot of software does have a good Linux alternative or might even have a Linux version. Would check this out before trying to use Wine. – crip659 May 14 '21 at 14:32

EXE Files can be run using a program called "WINE". Remember though:
Wine
Is
Not an
Emulator
It's a compatability layer. Things may not work as expected. You can also get front-ends to help you make your programs more stable, like PlayOnLinux, and Lutris. I hope this helped you!
