No. Internet Explorer is a web browser. Linux is an operating system, like Windows.

I’m not smart about this; but it has something to do with setting up vmware or partitioning your hard drive and installing a second operating system.

I’m sure that there are people on FR who can explain it much better. We are absolute neophytes on this; and I guess this weekend will be given-over to it :-)

(The last time I understood computers even partially, was when I had learned some DOS commands - and then came GUI, WWW, etc. - and there’s just too much ‘under the hood’ for me, now. I let the Husband Unit do this stuff ;-)

Eh I meant to say Windows. I have a new computer on the way (gift from spouse). Not sure what operating system is on it—maybe Windows 10, a problem as my techie son said he won’t communicate with me if I am operating with Win 10. Operating both Windows 7 and Linux would be optimal situation for me :)
