From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The main challenge is resisting the urge to install Linux on your own. Because you will need help at some point, so start now by asking for help.
And then, when you don't find the solution by yourself don't waste time and ask for help.
In time you will get it enough to know what you're doing.
The challenge is also to find these people that can help you out.
Yes that can be difficult some time.
But it's really mandatory to anyone wanting to use GNU/Linus.
