    Photo Stream is supported on iPhones, iPods touch, iPads, Macs with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, and PCs with Windows Vista, 7 or 8 and iCloud Control Panel. Unfortunately, you can't use Photo Stream in Ubuntu

    If you have a license for windows you can Download Virtual Box, install windows there, and use that to access your Photo Stream. It works like a dual install, but it doesn't require restarting your computer to access windows
