I am new on Ubuntu and I have a lot of software like itunes, canon image and printer software which have been installed under Microsoft. Do I have to reinstall them on Ubuntu? Or can I run them via Ubuntu? thank you in advance (even if it may seem like a naive question) ronmylo

  • First, search native program that you want for Ubuntu. If you could not find, you can install Windows application via Wine – muhasturk Apr 16 '14 at 07:33
  • Before trying to install Windows programs look for alternatives for Linux. See http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Alternatives – To Do Apr 16 '14 at 07:54

You can't install Windows software on Ubuntu. You have to find alternatives.

Look here to see if your Canon printer is supported on Ubuntu.

Unfortunately there is no iTunes version or alternative for Linux so you will have to use wine emulator. Read here how to install iTunes on PlayOnLinux (start from step 4).
