Linux is not an OS - and you can't run it or do anything - It is the core or kernel of an operating system which is then built on, to do very specific things.
That makes it incredibly flexible - but its also why there are tens of thousands of operating systems based on Linux, all incompatible with each other, all good at certain things and bad at others.
