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.

A desktop uses the same OS as any other computer, Windows, Mac OS, or Linux. Also, I'd recommend Mac OS X if you're getting a new computer. Here's the scoop: if the computer has an  on it, it runs Mac OS. If not, it runs Windows or Linux.
The primary drawback to Linux would be software incompatibility. Many programs that run on Windows or Macs do not have Linux versions and therefore cannot be used in Linux (ex. games). However, there are typically programs of similar function available in Linux. Furthermore, some programs can run through a Windows compatibility layer called WINE. Not all programs are so fortunate though and dual-booting may be the only option
Windows, Linux, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, the list is huge!
