No, this is not true. Linux is not windows and even though there is an emulator named Wine, it is a kludge and is no guarantee that any windows software will run properly on Linux. Some does really good, some is buggy, some doesn't start at all.
Trying to make Linux work like Windows will always be disappointing. Instead, try to find what makes Linux great and stick with Linux based software. The way to do this is instead of thinking of Windows program names you know and trying to get them to run, find Linux programs that perform the same function and learn how they work. You will be rewarded with inexpensive secure software that is very robust and stable. Something you never had with Windows and it's what makes Linux great.
