    What does Linux do exactly?

    Must have asked this and not understood the answer hundreds of times now.

        Interesting. To be fair, Wikipedia is generally good for non-political stuff, even if it simplifies things too much (but of course, sometimes you have to start with the incomplete “simple” explanations before you can move on to the more in-depth ones).

      So basically a computer is just a blank device with no real use unless you install an Operating System on it, like Windows or Linux. That controls how your computer actually behaves: how you install programs, what you see on the screen, how your hardware is managed… Most computers come preinstalled with Windows, but you can install Linux (or other systems), and many people find it works better for them. You can also install both, and also there are many variants of Linux to choose from, so there’s more to it. Hope this helps.
