What is the percentage of people use Linux?

This is the problem, no one really knows. Unlike Windows or OS X, Linux doesn't really have you "register" or phone home to anyone, so no statistic on how many Linux users there are is accurate.

Why is everyone not using Linux?

Lot of people do not use Linux because using Linux would bring them out of their comfort zone. Most users use Windows at work, school, and home and have learned how to use computers through Windows. Even small changes are difficult for novice computer users. One of the main reasons is that some programs can only be used on certain operating systems. Linux, being a smaller player is catching up and is improving to the extent that today almost all programs can be used on Linux systems.

What are the two types of users in Linux?

This depends on what you mean by type. In terms of permissions, you have regular users, who are restricted to access only resources they are granted permissions to. And then you have root, the superuser, who can do almost anything on the system. Then in terms of "usage." There's actual users, people who use Linux, have their own home directory, use applications, you name it. And then there's "system users" who aen't logged in as normal users but are simply dedicated users in the system who run certain things on their own permission level. This keeps root from having to run all the daemons on the system, which is a major security risk.
