I'm download a Windows 7 64 Bit iso. Can I install the motherfucker with an 8GB USB Stick? It's like 3.1GB
Writing an image to a flash drive doesn't have a max limit (or at least a limit I've never run into.) So it should be fine to write it to anything 4GB and above.

Then what do i do after it's written
Microsoft has a utility of converting ISOs to bootable USB. The utility is more or less foolproof. Feed it an ISO and a flash drive (by letter when it's plugged in), let it work its magic, and then just do as was said. Boot to USB and it should go.

Run Dolphin emulator? Yes, it runs quite well for me.
Run Cheat Engine? No, I believe that is Windows only, however Game Conqueror may be of some use to you.
Run DeSMumE? Seems there are plenty of folks confirming it to be a Linux application
Compile stuff? Linux is the go-to system for programmers. Can you compile stuff? You bet your ass.
Open command windows? We use the term Terminal, and yes, no Linux system would be complete without the terminal.
Get Google Chrome? You can use Google Chrome or you can use the community-maintained derivative, Chromium


And is the interface good? Personally, I am not a fan of the Unity desktop environment it comes packaged as it seemed to me that it was an interface tuned more for tablet-like devices. I run a variant of Ubuntu called Xubuntu that comes with XFCE instead, and it's highly personalizable to fit your preferences. You can always install whatever desktop environment you want on top of your system, so even if you go with the vanilla Ubuntu and decide you hate Unity, you can install the XFCE, KDE, or other packages that suits your tastes.
