Could Not Display Linux Apps

The best and easiest way to do this with cinnamon OS is to right click on the file and open property. From the properties window you can associate any program or several programs to open the file and set one as default. Any executable file can be open with wine (If it is installed, else you have to install the same). If you are trying to open a .deb file then try to open with gdebi.
