Both Windows and Linux can be installed on an Intel Mac, so yes. If you were referring to binary compatibility with Mac OS X, Windows programs can be run using third-party programs like Wine or CrossOver Mac. Programs compiled on Linux are not binary-compatible, but most programs that are open-source and not specific to functionality in Linux can be and have been ported to Mac OS X. Most of these are available via Fink.
If the application is designed to be cross-platform and/or open-source, then it will run on macOS. Otherwise, it would not work.
Yes. Many Linux distributions were created that target PowerPC Macs (Yellow Dog Linux especially; Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora also have ports). Any modern distro for PCs can also be used on an Intel Mac. Debian has / had a version for 68k Macs as well, but this is no longer well-maintained, and many programs lag behind the other ports in their versions. Software such as Virtual Box allow you to create a virtual Linux computer on your Mac. (See links below)
Mac OS X is based on BSD, which is similar to Linux. Because of this, it is fairly easy to port programs between the two operating systems. However, the two operating systems are not the same, and programs for one don't work on the other. Linux also uses the X window system, and Mac doesn't, though Mac has a program to support programs that use the X window system. Because of this, Linux programs can be configured to run on Mac OS X with a little elbow grease, but not the other way around.
Because it has multiple WINDOWS for programs to run in, just like the Mac OS of the time........... In short, use linux.

Yes! You can Run OSX (mac) and linux at the same time with a virtual machine. I perfer Parallels.
a hackintosh is just a normal pc set up to run mac, most pc's run linux fine.
No, Opera's servers run on Linux.
One can find instructions on how to run e2sck Linux by checking the Linux website directly. There are clear instructions on how to run all Linux programs.
yes. we can
"Linux can run programs ranging from Apache HTTP to SSH, GIMP Office, Mozilla Firefox, and a wide range of other Windows, Unix and other types of programs."
