Linux? Its an OS (operating system) - just like Windows, really! Well, not like, but the same idea. ie, turn on your computer, and its there. Its free, and really doesn't crash.
It does all the stuff windows does (runs programs, plays music etc) without actually being windows. It comes, like windows, in a variety of flavours.
It is also made by techs. That means that
a) readable documentation is hard to find
b) if you do have a problem, there's no nice service place for help.
c) if you can't configure your computer properly, you are fu.cked.
That's about it, really! I could go on... but I won't.
PS never ever ask that q to a real hardcore programming guru. While they mightn't be capable of exerting enough newtons to actually cause your sensory indicators to fire, the spittle from their mouths while they lecture you (having just consumed some garlic pizza) is deadly.
