In your case if your new to Linux I would check out CrossOver its in your applications already. Deepin CrossOver lets your run some Windows programs.

How do I install things using the terminal? I will need to know how to. Thanks!

Hi, for example if you want to install firefox open terminal and type :
sudo apt-get install firefox

OK. Thank you!

Your Welcome

When I want to install something via terminal, it asked for my password, but when I try to type the password, it won't let me type! What do I do? I have tried copy and pasting and EVERYTHING. It won't let me put anything in! Also, when I am installing things via the deepin store, it just says "waiting to download" and doesn't actually install anything! What do I do for THAT as well? Thanks!

For safety reasons, you don't see any thing when you input password, so just type your password and hit enter key

Okay before you were asking questions with out installing Deepin yet. So now that you have installed Deepin you should update your system first.

HOW????? I don't see that setting anywhere. I see an updating thing in the settings but it keeps spinning finding new updates or checking for them

It could take a while you just installed Deepin 15.1.1 you proabably have about 300 updates. You can also try from terminal as well.

OK. I have updated the system, now how do I install things like WINE in the terminal? How do I effectively use the terminal. Also, when I trying downloading apps from the app store, it just keeps saying 'Waiting to download'.

Hi, Wine is a more complicated one where it also needs mono runtime support to work. But as mentioned above you already have easier to use version installed already Deepin CrossOver. To install from terminal you will need to cancel any pending downloads from Deepin Store or just reset your computer. Find the package name, firefox is a easy one gnome calendar is more difficult because you need to know the exact spelling
sudo apt-get install firefox
sudo apt-get install gnome-calendar
If the store just says waiting to download apt is probably busy for some reason. It helps to reset also have you selected faster mirror in control center ? And what apps are you trying to install ?

Just like basic things from the store....

are there any step by step post on how to install wine

In Deepin 15.0 , I installed wine and mono runtime with the following :
