I am using Ubuntu version 12.04.2 LTS
Are there any specific programs or file extensions that are not compatible with Ubuntu? Can all .exe extensions be run on Ubuntu? I have just started using this OS so my experience is next to nothing.
Wine can be used to run windows programs(i.e .exe files).most programs will run easily with no or little twerks.
there could be hundreds(if not thousands) of file extensions that are not compatible with Ubuntu out of the box.this is because anyone can create different extensions for there private use,or for use with a specific programs.for example a program Anki uses .apkg format.naturally this file format would be incompatible with windows or osx or any other os.
But that's not all,Ubuntu comes with a set of very good apps,and other apps like 7zip
support most of file formats which are frequently used in day-to-day life.
