Tutorial How to open exe files in linux

[asgardtipar2]

Hey guys, so I had to install new OS, Linux Ubuntu 18.04 to be precise and give up of my trusty Windows. I have downloaded the game, extracted it.. but when I try to run the game it says, something about an error that occurred while loading the archive.. I tried it with an actual game, and its the same, so its not this game. Do I need a specific program/app or something to run games on Linux?
P.S If its not clear Its the first time I am using LInux.

personally I always liked play on linux over WINE. not sure if they still use it. but linux has an IRC chat you can get help from. Just an FYI. Lot of good people in the chat that can help you out. It takes time to learn Linux. but don't give up
