Click on the Ubuntu logo on the top left corner of the screen or press the Super (Windows) key on the keyboard. Then type the start of the name of the game you would like to play in the search field. As soon as you see the game, click on it.
Once the game is running there will a icon on the left side for it. Right click it and you will have an option to keep it in the starter. If you choose that it will remain there and you can start it more easily.

That's another thing. How do I right click, and how do I highlight and
copy, cut etc.
Thanks
