Can Linux be used as operating system and personal coputers?

Linux *is* an operating system (In the strictest sense, it's a kernel, but since an OS core, unless it's in a microkernel-driven environment, can only be based on its kernel, Linux is still effectively the OS core as well as the kernel.), so it can only be used as an operating system.I am assuming this question is "Can Linux be used as an operating system *on* personal computers?" And the answer is yes!The Linux operating system is fully capable of running a PC, and there are countless GNU-based userspaces built on the Linux operating system to make desktop-focused Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Mint, or Fedora.These days, the hardware support in Linux is just as solid as Windows on PCs, so chances are you launch a Linux distribution on even a new machine, it'll have all your hardware working out of the box.
