It is the path as relative to the topmost directory, /.

For example, /usr/bin is absolute, but ../bin is relative (Means "the directory 'bin' in the parent of the current directory.")

How does a Linux computer look like?

Linux doesn't look like anything. It is a kernel upon which complete operating systems can be built. Each Linux operating system, known as a "distro", has its own unique appearance. Some of them are pretty spectacular and make mainstream OSes look like muck. Some look like gibberish spewed out of a teletype machine. Linux has this way of being just what you want, or, sometimes, almost-but-not-quite what you want. If you're not paying attention, it can even manifest itself as what you deserve. Linux is mutable.

How do you modify Linux to meet the standards of Windows?

They are two completely different platforms. You can get close to in appearance of any Windows release given you have the appropriate fonts and themes, but it will never work the same way as if you did in a native Windows installation. Conversely, if you dress up Windows to look like certain Linux desktops, it will never reach the full functionality of Linux.
