I have used linux for the past few years on most of my and family computers. 
Specifically, I use Xubuntu, which gives a simple interface.  The main 
difference between linux distributions is the default desktop and default 
program selection installed. One can make a "Live DVD" or USB stick (usually 
better) from most linux distros to try out which will run on any computer 
without interfering with the existing setup.

It is possible to instal linux in place of Chrome (I haven't done this, but 
will if a chrome machine comes my way).
