migration questions

Hello

I want to migrate from windows 8.1 to mint, but I want to keep some of the functionality

If I use wine to launch windows apps, is there a specific folder to put the app.exe file in to have it be enabled to use wine?

is there a specific folder to to put files in to create links to the desktop??

When you install WINE it will be in ~/.wine. A dot before a name means it is a hidden directory. Navigate there via $ cd ~/.wine. $ ls -a will display hidden files.
Doing it inside a desktop environment will vary depending on which one you are using, you'll have to check the manual. KDE is ALT+. for example. Alt (or CTRL)+H is also common. Inside the .wine directory is a Program Files directory. Dump your executables there, and you can right click them to install with WINE. Reference the manual to find more commands or arguments for it. During install you should be asked to create a link on your desktop.

You'll have to look up each program to find if it is compatible with WINE. A lot are, but not all will be.

Make sure you do your homework before installing Linux Mint. Read the Mint manual.
