'linux' is just the 'kernel' of an operating system. windows has a kernel, macOS has a kernel..

operating systems that use linux as its core/kernel are called distributions. check out the website i have mentioned to see a list of the most popular 'distros'. one of the top 5 would be best for a new user to try.

these are only few| £Ä3

Bit of an abiguious question that.

Linux comes in many variations called distributions (Hundreds of them), these are then broken down into their core programs & then depending on what GUI front end you have running e.g. KDE or Gnome.

Ubuntu (Gnome)
Kubuntu (KDE)
SUSE
Mandriver
Slackkware
Knoppix
Debian
Simply MEPIS

I would suggest visiting somewhere like Distrowatch to get a bit of background on the various distributions before you jump in the deep end & put yourself off.

I would suggest something like Ubuntu as an easy starting point as it is very much like (Cough)M$ in layout & comes on a live CD (No need to install) so if you cannot get on with it move onto the next in your list of distros.
