Default I came, I tried and I failed horribly...

So Ive been using microsoft for ever but decided to check out linux since there are people out there praising linux ( god knows why I guess). I decided to install Linux on an old laptop that used to run windows XP.

What I have now is Linux Ubuntu and no other OS on laptop. After I installed Ubuntu I tried installing Spotify wich was suprisingly difficult for someone that doesnt know Linux, After 1 hour I made it due to nice people posting vids on youtube... /sigh...
I also installed wine somewhere in that process after watching a video on "need to have programs on Linux" on youtube...

Why does it have to be so hard to do the simplest things. Couldnt they invent some form of .exe file on linux to prevent all this code writing ?

Anyways I recently tried installing Everquest after reading this guide on my linux and I failed horribly...

I downloaded EQ Titanium torrent and installed it using a disc image program (like daemon tools).
Then I installed it in a folder within Ubuntu called C:/EQEmu (wich I btw spendt some time after trying to locate to delete the files as project1999 mentions) eqarena.eqg etc. Ofc I installed the v40 files from project1999 page before deleting these files ofc.

Then I tried to right click EQ icon on desktop to stop patching and tried to apply the correct address wich I have no idea if actually was correct address or if it worked..

I also made a shortcut for LaunchTitanium on desktop.

Do I use the EQ icon or LaunchTitanium to start EQ ?

If Linux is such a great OS, then why is stuff so complicated to do ? sudo apt this, sudo apt that, wine here and wine there.. Anyways.. I cant get EQ to work on my Ubuntu apparenlty. Would be nice with a video showing exactly what to do on youtube if anyone is able to do that.

Sorry to you linux lovers out there but I just dont feel like learning how to do codes and stuff in a new OS, I just wanto play EQ... :S
