I just downloaded Ubuntu 16.04. Where is the desktop. I have been having trouble with all these distros; they come with no desktop and no terminal. How can you run the program??

Did you download from the official site for Ubuntu Desktop? If yes everything should be ok. (I did that 3 weeks ago). – Karsus Mar 13 '17 at 00:25

1Please be more specific on what you've tried, and what the result was. For example, you downloaded what? The ISO? Did you boot into the ISO from a USB or CD/DVD? – Delorean Mar 13 '17 at 00:40

1All Ubuntu flavors include a Terminal. All Ubuntu flavors (except Ubuntu Server) include a desktop. – user535733 Mar 13 '17 at 02:01

I think you are confused about Ubuntu and other GNU/Linux distros.
Ubuntu is not a program, it's an operating system like Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
--> You need to burn a CD/DVD or USB drive with the ISO file that you downloaded.
Then, reboot the computer, boot from the disk (or USB) and try it or install it from there.
If you choose to install, you will most likely lose everything on your hard drive, make sure to try the system first before installing.
