.osm.pbf
it`s the extension for OpenStreetMap extract that I get from a site that takes daily extracts from OSM: http://download.geofabrik.de/
How to import these files in QGIS (on Linux or Window)?

Best Answer
QGIS is now able to read .pbf files with
Add vector layer
, but the data size will most probably kill QGIS with most of the available files.Try
ogr2ogr -f SQLite my.sqlite some.pbf
in the OSGEO4W shell to convert the pbf into a spatialite database, and connect to that in QGIS.You might want to switch to the data folder or use full paths to access the files.
