I am wondering if there is a way to run Ubuntu applications from Windows. I have heard of WINE, which emulates Windows in order to run Windows applications on Ubuntu. Is their a Windows application that would allow you to run Ubuntu applications on Windows?

The general question to this is NO, however, there is a but:




  • Some applications are cross-platform so you can find their Windows versions. For example, there's KDE for Windows initiative which supposedly allows you to run KDE programs on Windows


  • Mostly for command-line programs, there's a compatibility layer called Cygwin


  • you can run Ubuntu programs in a virtual machine in Windows.




But generally you can not take an arbitrary .deb and install and run it in Windows.
