I wanted to migrate to Linux but I don't know what are the specification of Linux in terms of hardware. Does Linux adopts all hardware specification or their are requirements needed to install Linux operating system?

If your PC runs Windows ok then it'll run Linux ok too.

Definitely, Linux requires less hardware performance-wise. However, drivers can get kind of messy. Before you migrate to Linux, make sure all of your hardware is compatible with your chosen distro.

I couldn't figure out how to get my printer to work under Ubuntu but everything else worked OK.

You should use Ubuntu
Linux doesn't "have kinds of operating system" - it itself is an OS. You are talking about "window managers" or "graphical user interface". A Linux distribution, may have several different "window managers" installed - KDE, Gnome, etc.
PS: It's Red Hat, not Red Hot

Thanks for making me smile - I needed it today
