Question: How to Run Ubuntu on Windows?
Contents

Can you run Ubuntu on Windows 10?

Yes, you can now run the Ubuntu Unity desktop on Windows 10.

This isn’t easy to do, and it’s a long way from being a complete Linux desktop, but it’s a start.

If you want to run the Ubuntu Linux desktop in Windows 10 for work, I recommend you do it via a virtual machine (VM) program such as Oracle’s VirtualBox.

How do I run Ubuntu?

Installing .run files in ubuntu:

  • Open a terminal(Applications>>Accessories>>Terminal).
  • Navigate to the directory of the .run file.
  • If you have your *.run in your desktop then type the following in terminal to get into Desktop and press Enter.
  • Then type chmod +x filename.run and press Enter.
