Linux and Windows are operating systems¹ for which you write useful software using a programming language AND a compiler/interpreter² that translates the program's sources to an executable. ____ ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system ² https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

Linux and Windows are operating systems (an interface between applications and the hardware) while a compiler is simply a program that turns your source code(in any programming language) into a computer understandable code(object code). An example of a compiler could be the GCC compiler for c/c++ programs. Hope i was helpfull 😉
