There isn't an inventor of hacking, you can just turn on your Linux and start.
Linux is just an OS (Operating system like macOS, android, Windows...). But the different things are that Linux is a bit hard to learn. Linux is used by hackers (Linux is a "hacking machine", a bit like hacking in movies. And yes u can play games on Linux (There is some games that doesn't support Linux.)
Linux Security Tool Distribution (STD) is really good.
Yes, I think that Linux is safer. You should use Ubuntu for gaming/programming and Kali Linux for hacking/penetration testing.
Not really, it's depending on what do you want. I suggest Kali Linux for penetration testing/hacking and Ubuntu for gamers/programmers.
they are loads but Linux is better because you can get free downloads
You want to get yourself a copy of Linux STD. That has all the hacking tools you need. Just go on to the official Linux STD site and download it. Its free too.
BT4 is the most complete Linux distribution with Pentesting tools preinstalled but you still need some knowledge.
No. Hacking, depending on your definition, can be done from almost any operating system.

The white hat hacking or ethical hacking can be considered "harmless hacking". Otherwise, all other hackings are considered harmful hacking.
