So I got bored and decided to do my first install of Linux ever! In fact I had never sat down at a Linux machine (so far I've used only Windows and Mac based platforms).
I decided to go with Ubuntu. I opted with the Windows installer.
So I downloaded it, ran it, rebooted my machine, and chose to run Ubuntu as my OS. It stepped through setting up Linux (quickly) and loaded my new desktop.
From there I worked on figuring out how to install wine (holy cow, installing things on Linux is quite different)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
After I got Wine to install and ran the config...I downloaded QM.
Right clicked on the install file and opened it with wine. It ran through the installer and when I was finished...QM opened right up and works perfectly so far!
Being that I kind of clumsily moved through the whole process, I can't give a step by step. By far figuring out how to install wine was the hardest part.
