It's just a different operating system. Like the difference between Internet Explorer and Firefox...but to a larger degree. Windows is dominant, but there are other options. Linux being one of them. I've seen it and those who use it love it...but really I don't know much about it other than it's A. different B. just as usable when you understand it C. Needs an emulator or interpreter for some of Windows functions, but can process Windows stuff with the proper tools.
I'm sure if you asked, someone in LJ land is way geekier than me and has a love of Linux that can explain it better. ;)
