OK, so I have a couple questions about Linux. Help with any of them will be very appreciated!

- Will I be able to run things like Microsoft Word and Excel?

- I am not very computer smart in terms of like html and coding, so will this be a problem? Is it hard to operate?

- How do I install it?

- How do I use it once it is installed?

- What will happen to my current ps3 homescreen (the XMB bar? I guess that's what I'm referring to)? How will I access the browser, games, and settings? And will system updates be performed the same way?

 - Will I have to save all my current data on a separate source in order to install it?

I'm sure there are more questions, but I'll add any as I think of them. Those are the big ones though. Thank you for any help!
