I'm sorry if there is already a thread discussing what it does but I didn't feel like searching for it because this is much easier and I have a lot of questions.
I like Ubuntu so far but some things I would like to know are:
-With W.I.N.E, can I run a lot of programs that are windows based? Just a rough estimate would be fine.
-Since I only have 1gb of RAM, will Ubuntu run a lot faster than Windows 7?
-Could I run Photoshop CS5 on Ubuntu?
-Could I play Emulators like Project 64, ePSXe, and other emulators for gameboys and such?
-How much more versatile is Ubuntu to Windows 7? (I may have used that in the wrong context but I'm hoping whoever can figure it out)
- Every now and again I like to run modding programs for xbox, do I just have to run it in/with W.I.N.E or whatever?
-I think I saw a way to run iTunes on linux, do I do that just like any other program for windows, with W.I.N.E and such?
-Is there a good program that will play any type type of file so I could watch a show? Because I have Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z and I've only found 1 program that will actual play the type of file it is but it is just for windows. I'm guessing the same thing with W.I.N.E? I just want to know, sorry if it's a little repetitive. lol It's a .rmvb file type, BTW.
-I have Steam, same thing as above. Unless there is a linux version, I'm not sure.
-I also want to learn languages with Rosetta Stone and I have that too, same thing as above.
-Do I need to download something to mount ISO's like on Windows with Daemon tools or whatever other program? If so, is there some for linux and what are they? Or could I just download one for Windows and run it in/with W.I.N.E?
-I really don't want to lose a lot of my stuff if I feel like switching over, is there any way I can keep most of it without putting it on an external? I don't have one but if I can't, I might be able to borrow someones so I could do the transfer.
I might think of more questions when they pop up. I'll add them later when I think of more. Thank you to anyone and everyone who helps. I'll +rep because I'm really considering switching and if you can list some things that are a plus, that would be cool too. I know some downsides but I want to see what you guys have to say too. Thanks for everything.
