I have been using linux mint for a month and I have encountered a problem, I am unable to download programs from the internet as with windows.
when I try to download a program it makes me download the executable (of a few kb) and when I try to install, it doesn't let me install it.
(the programs i need are not available in the linux store)
help is urgent. thanks
