Also find out what is Linux: it is just a kernel. It is not the operating system, though often (most of the time), people use this word to refer to some operating systems that (sometimes) use this kernel. This leads to a lot of ambiguity and confusion. ((Android uses the linux kernel, but is not like debian, ubuntu, suse, redhat, slackware, etc. debian can use other kernels, and cygwin that is also like these runs on Microsoft's windows.))
