What does a computer screen look like?

A Linux computer appears like any other computer. The hardware required for Linux is the same. From the outside, just looking at the hardware (monitor, keyboard, tower, tower guts) it is impossible to tell what operating system is running on the computer.

Desktop-wise, this is a very difficult question to answer. There are a wide variety of desktop that can be used for Linux (GNOME, XFCE, KDE, E16/17, LXDE, etc.). Some eschew the use of these desktops and stick purely to the use of command line. Further complicating the answer is the fact that many of these desktops are highly customizable and can be made to appear however the user chooses. Generally though if one uses a graphical desktop, it will be familiar to windows users. Often there is a menu where one can access applications and places and the use of icons is near ubiquitous.

Many programs that are used in Windows/ Apple computers have Linux equivalents and have similar looks.

When was first electronic computer made?

I think it was the ENIAC

Answer

The first "electronic computer" was the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, or ABC. This machine wasn't programmable--if you wanted to change the function of the ABC you would have had to go in and rewire it. It also output through a Hollerith Card punch, and the one Atanasoff had was unreliable.

The first programmable computer was the ENIAC. This machine also used a card punch for output.

So...what is a card punch and how would you use one for output? In the days before computers, any sort of automated data processing had to be done by punching holes, in a specific format with a huge machine called a keypunch, into paper cards. They had machines that punched the cards, read the cards, sorted them in all sorts of useful ways, and printed the information on them. (A bank would punch a card every time a customer made a payment on his loan. The data center officers would then sort the cards and print reports that showed who hadn't paid yet. This was slow and cumbersome but easier than doing it completely by hand...and as you guessed, it employed a LOT of keypunch operators.) By creating a card punch that connected to the first computers, they could add a computer to their operation and still be able to use the punched card technology they were comfortable with.

Why does your fan not stop on your computer?

The fan is running constantly because the computer is overheating. Disconnect power from the computer and remove the side panel. Use a can of compressed air to remove all dust from the computer. When cleaning the fans do not allow the air to spin the fan or you can damage it. Hold the fan blades in place with a pencil or pen. After blowing all air from the processor heat sink, fans, inlets, & outlets, the computer fans should not run as much. After you clean it out connect the power cord and start the computer up. Look to make sure all fans are running. If not you may have a defective fan.
