Well executable programs in Linux are not called executable. Mainly Micro Soft
has them as exe files. So lets throw away the windows way of thinking. The
packages of the programs that you installed to move to your tool bar are easy.
May I please point out

-lts-released-and-reviewed.
It is just a matter to change how things are in Linux compare to windows. I know it must be frustrating. I been there, and getting mad on I could do this
and why I can't do that. Just relax and go with the flow of learning a great
program.
