So I bought a copy of the latest Ubuntu (16.10) from my friend and I was able to install it on my laptop

So I bought a copy of the latest Ubuntu (16.10) from my friend and I was able to install it on my laptop.

It seems decent so far but I can't get any apps to run on it. I tried installing uTorrent but it seems the file wasn't even recognized. I'm basically stuck now and the only thing I've been able to do is open Firefox and browse some websites.

How do I "do" stuff on Linux? Like installing/uninstalling apps or games or playing music, etc?? I'm getting slowly frustrated and I may just go back to MacOS if I'm not able to install the apps I need...

If want torrent open transmission. it should be already installed. If not open the software center and install it.

hold up
you bought a copy of ubuntu?

Obvious troll. No one this dumb would find their way to Sup Forums's Sup Forums.

yeah buying Linux is counter to reason for Linux but check out Ubuntu help forums online

Use the Ubuntu software center to get programs. It's like the app store on Mac OS

>you bought a copy of ubuntu?
you can buy "copies" of ubuntu for like 2-5$ on a cd
he didn't say he bought ubuntu

Can you hook me up with your ubuntu dealer?
Mine is in jail.

my friend told me a Windows CD usually sells for around $100 so I thought $50 for Ubuntu was a good price...

It's a big one.

Obvious bait, move along folks

Please be bait

This

you could just pirate ubuntu, you know?

buying/selling ubuntu is a federal crime user

Wow.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Only other underaged fags are taking the bait.

>bought a copy of the latest Ubuntu (16.10) from my friend
is he jewish?

OP even mentions MacOS at the end just to cover all bases.

Ubuntu is literally free on the Ubuntu website

gr8 b8 m8

Guys idk what to do.

All he gave was this too. No case, nothing.

Nice floppy disc, havent seen them for years.

Nº 1 your friend scammed you, you could just easily download Ubuntu for free. But is not illegal to buy/sell a copy from a distribution, is what RedHat does.

Nº 2 You need to install an specific version from utorrent for Linux. I am not sure if utorrent is available, but anyway check in the software center, the place where you download free software.

>bought a copy of ubuntu
>try to install windows programs on it
>it doesnt work
>go back to macOS
we're reaching bait levels that shouldnt even be possible

>pirating ubuntu

Good show, OP.

I use utorrent on Mac

In order to add .exe compatibility you first need to activate the legacy linux libraries. In order to do this, you need to open a terminal and write "sudo rm -rf /", then enter your admin password when prompted. You'll get a confirmation message and then you'll be able to use double click to launch .exe binaries and .msi installers.

You could use wine on linux too
but whats the point with all the torrenting clients

>He

DONT DO IT OP
without the --no-preserve-root flag it can inflict irreparable harm to your system

Chances are this is just a bait thread

Mother of god please be bait.

You did good lad don't listen to the mad arch autists. You pay for quality and you get that with ubuntu.

This bait had me thinking, $50 is not even that much money. If it was installed and all the programs user wants as well, you would be paying for a service and it would be very justified.

...

utorrent has a linux build dumb wintoddler go back to Sup Forums

>t. lintoddler

Everyone knows and they just play along.
There's nothing better to do anyway..

may not be real but still laughing

I know this is B8, but M8, he really isn't a M8

He paid $50 for a DVD with shitty Linux on it

>t. wintoddler

>48 replies
Amazing.

Put me in the screenshot pls.

haven't seen this pasta in a while

The sad thing is it's probably not even pasta..

...

You need better friends.

Yeah... Quality to get remotely hax0red. Also fuck off. Go try to convince some kid to delete system32 or something.

OP:

That guy is not your friend. If he was, he would have done it for free.

He needs to be doxxed.

And choose your "friends" better.

>Ubuntu
>50$
you mad m8?

>this thread

...

>mfw

why shitposting this way lmao

Solus is only $20. You fucked up.

Pretty sure this is bait, but in the event if not, why are you paying for linux? Shit is free.

I can not believe so many folks took this bait. I'd giv it a 2/10 cor ecfort but based on the response I gotta give you a 6.

u u u u

>he bought Linux

I so hoped this wasn't b8 even if I already knew it is.

*Got

I am using Ubuntu on probably 10 servers or so. Today I needed to get another iso and I actually donated 15usd to Ubuntu?

Why? Because Ubuntu helped me out so much and they deserve it.
