Sure, I use Linux. The good thing about it is that you can choose between Linux and Windows at every start up, so you can always switch to windows if there's something you don't know how to do.
Linux has many advantages, including being less prone to viruses and bugs.

I actually only have linux on my computer myself, but I do not know how to do anything; I can't install any programs, mainly.

Look under the Administration menu (under the System menu) and you'll find an application called "synaptic". Here you can install lots of good programs. You can also go to "Add/Remove" under the Applications menu. Installing downloaded programs can sometimes be a bit more complicated, of course.
